Figures are AirROI estimates for the 12 months to October 2026, and stays count Airbnb bookings only. Typical stay is a booking's length, occupancy the share of available nights booked, and revenue the yearly average per home, before costs. Guest rating is out of 5. Airbnb data files some places as one district or township, so Santorini (Thira) and rows like it cover several towns. Months in brackets: AirROI has under 12 months for that town, so its busiest month is read from those.

Money figures on this page are in euros, converted from US dollars at €0.86 per US$, the typical rate from November 2025 to October 2026.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most popular beach town in Greece?

By AirROI's estimates, Chania (Region of Crete) is the most booked of the 141 beach towns in Greece, with 53,168 Airbnb stays in the 12 months to October 2026. Santorini (Thira) is second, with 48,088. This counts Airbnb bookings only.

What is the most affordable beach town in Greece?

By AirROI's estimated nightly rate on Airbnb in the 12 months to October 2026, among beach towns in Greece with 200 or more homes, the lowest are Palaio Faliro (Attica) (€109), Kavala (Macedonia and Thrace) (€112) and Preveza (Epirus and Western Macedonia) (€112). That is the average asking price on booked nights, not what it costs to live or buy there.

What are some small beach towns in Greece?

By AirROI's count of active Airbnb homes as of October 2026, the smallest of the 141 beach towns it lists in Greece are Ampelas (Aegean) (97), Kalathas (Region of Crete) (100) and Psarou (Aegean) (101). AirROI's list starts at 100 homes, so smaller places are not on it.

What beach towns in Greece offer the strongest Airbnb returns?

Returns depend on what a home costs to buy and run, which AirROI's figures do not cover. On AirROI's estimated revenue per home in the 12 months to October 2026, among beach towns in Greece with 200 or more homes, the highest are Oia (Aegean) (€36,682), Naousa (Aegean) (€33,761) and Hydra (Attica) (€32,722). Among the same towns, Adamantas (Aegean) has the highest occupancy, at 54%.

How These Lists and Numbers Are Made

How a town gets on this list. A town needs 100 or more Airbnb homes with recent stays. A language model then judges the place from its name, state, country and coordinates, not from words in its name: it has to be on an ocean or sea coast with its own beach, seafront or harbour, or on a Great Lake with a public beach, and within about 10 km of the shore. The town's own listings can back that up, with 30% of its homes listing beach access, or 10% with ocean views, waterfront homes or beach in their titles besides. A town whose listings do not gets a second, stricter check, which asks whether people go there for that or mainly for something else. Big cities stay off. Corrections come last: places the checks got wrong are added or taken off, and rows that name one place are joined.

How the figures are made. Stays, occupancy, nightly rate and revenue are AirROI estimates built from Airbnb listing data, and cover Airbnb only. A town's stays are its bookings in the period, and the typical stay and busiest month come from the same data. Guest ratings, home sizes and how far ahead guests book are the latest figures in each town's AirROI data. Month ranks compare each month's part of Airbnb nights. Origin rests on 1,815,471 reviews and describes guests who left a review, not everyone who stayed. A town needs 1,000 reviews before this page gives its share from abroad.
