Profit
Is an Airbnb in Symi Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Symi Airbnb took in €12,290 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €760 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 €1,230 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €470 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €800 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €660 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 Symi's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Symi listings are booked on 52% or more of their nights, against 36% 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 €160 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 €1,180 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €3,850, against €440 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Symi listings average 4.80 stars, and 42% 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 €1,650 a month, against €1,020 for the average one.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Symi?

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Symi?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Symi?
In Symi, 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 Symi?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Symi Airbnb grossed €12,290 in the 12 months to September 2026, 32% 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, €9,080 a year (about €760 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 €1,230 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
