Calculate Your Greece Tourist Tax
Estimate the Greece accommodation tax (climate resilience fee) for your stay.
This tool provides an estimate for planning purposes. Always confirm final charges with your accommodation provider.
What is the Greece tourist tax?
The Greece tourist tax is commonly charged as an accommodation-based fee, often referred to as the climate crisis resilience fee. It is usually calculated per room (or per rental unit), per night, and it depends on the type and class of accommodation you book.
If you are budgeting a trip to Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes, or any other destination in Greece, this small daily fee can still add up over a longer stay. That is why using a Greece tourist tax calculator is useful: it helps you compare hotels, apartments, and villas before you book.
How this calculator works
- Step 1: Choose your accommodation type (hotel, short-term rental, or villa).
- Step 2: If hotel is selected, choose the star category.
- Step 3: Select high season (March-October) or low season (November-February).
- Step 4: Enter nights and number of rooms/units.
- Step 5: Optionally add your nightly room price to estimate total trip accommodation cost.
The calculator then multiplies the applicable fee by nights and units. If you enter a nightly room rate, it also estimates your total lodging bill including tourist tax.

Example calculations
Example 1: 4-star hotel in July
You stay 6 nights in one 4-star hotel room during high season. The fee is €7.00 per night, so your tourist tax is: 6 × €7.00 = €42.00.
Example 2: Apartment in January
You stay 10 nights in one furnished apartment during low season. The fee is €0.50 per night, so your tourist tax is: 10 × €0.50 = €5.00.
Example 3: Two hotel rooms for a family
You book two 3-star rooms for 5 nights in September. High-season fee is €3.00 per room/night: 5 × 2 × €3.00 = €30.00.

- If comparing properties, evaluate both room rate and total tax impact.
- For longer stays or multiple rooms, run several scenarios with this calculator.
- Keep exchange-rate fluctuations in mind if your home currency is not EUR.
