A study found hotel stays in Athens more affordable compared to most other European destinations with average room rates much lower than those offered in rival cities.
Hotels in the Greek capital are still struggling to increase occupancy levels, which suffered a blow after the onset of Covid-19, according to the Athens-Attica & Argosaronic Hotel Association.
Athens hotel room rates were cheaper than rival cities - Rome, Paris, Vienna, Munich, Barcelona, Madrid and Istanbul - in the first five months of 2022, according to data by GBR Consulting.
Greece could face a recession of 7.9% in 2020, with the tourism, transport and shipping sectors expected to suffer a major blow, says the country's 2020-2023 Stability Program.
