Airbnb's Head of Public Policy for Southern Europe, Valentina Reino, made a statement on the government's announcements regarding the new regulations on short-term rentals in Greece.

"Across Greece, a typical Airbnb host rents a home for just 24 nights a year, and more than one in two report that the extra income from this activity helps them maintain their homes. We recognise the challenges facing certain neighbourhoods in Athens—where tourist traffic is particularly concentrated or the availability of homes is scarce—and we want to work with the Greek government on targeted and proportionate solutions that will help balance the benefits of hospitality with the needs of these areas." Mrs Reino said. 

Airbnb has been working with the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) since April 2021 to provide all its data from listings in the country, a landmark best practice agreement across Europe.
