The Santorini market
Santorini's caldera views and white-washed villages make it one of the world's most iconic short-term-rental destinations, with premium pricing and high demand. Greek hosts here pay OTA commissions on high-value stays. A direct-booking website helps Santorini hosts capture repeat guests and keep a larger share of every reservation.
Short-term-rental rules
Short-term-rental hosts in Greece must register their property with the national registry and report each stay. Registration is required, so always verify the current local requirements before listing.
