Tourism activity at accommodation establishments in Greece increased in June 2026, with foreign visitors acting as the main driver of both arrivals and overnight stays, while domestic demand recorded a slight decline.
According to preliminary data from the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT), a total of 5.58 million arrivals and 24.06 million overnight stays were recorded in tourist accommodation in June 2026. Compared with June 2025, arrivals increased by 1.3%, while overnight stays rose by 1.4%.
The data cover hotel-type accommodation, campsites and collective short-stay establishments, such as rooms to let.
International tourism demand was largely what supported the increase. Arrivals of foreign visitors reached 4.58 million, up 1.7% from 4.50 million a year earlier. Overnight stays by foreign visitors also increased by 1.7%, reaching 21.54 million, from 21.17 million in June 2025.
The picture in the domestic market was quite different. Arrivals of residents fell by 0.4%, to just over 1 million, from 1.006 million in the same month of 2025, while their overnight stays decreased by 0.9%, to around 2.53 million.
