Athens Regulations
Athens clearly permits STRs and provides a straightforward pathway—$200 permit, one-time inspection, and a well-defined application—without caps or a moratoria. However, investors must carry $1M insurance, designate a 24/7 local responsible party, meet occupancy/parking limits, and file/comply with monthly HOT reporting and enforcement, which add cost and operational rigor but remain manageable.
