Profit
Is an Airbnb in Karpathos Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Karpathos Airbnb took in €7,868 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €510 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about €870 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €220 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €530 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €450 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Karpathos's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Karpathos listings are booked on 45% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €110 adds about €1,120 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €170 a night or more, against a median of €110. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about €760 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €2,970, against €447 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Karpathos listings average 4.84 stars, and 32% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about €1,110 a month, against €660 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Karpathos?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Karpathos?
In Karpathos, 97% of active listings display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what the rules allow, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Karpathos?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Karpathos Airbnb grossed €7,868 in the 12 months to September 2026, 56% below the Aegean average of €18,080. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, €6,108 a year (about €510 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about €870 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
