Two Greek islands introduce new tourist tax

  • Greece will introduce a new cruise passenger tax for holidaymakers visiting two of its most popular islands from July 1.
  • The charge of €20 per passenger will be applied to Mykonos and Santorini during the peak summer season, from June 1 to September 30.
  • After September 30, the fee will decrease to €12, further dropping to €4 during the low season from November 1 to March 31.
  • For other Greek ports, cruise passengers will pay a maximum of €5 during peak travel months, with lower fees of €1 for the low season and €3 for the shoulder season.
  • The tax aims to curb overtourism, protect struggling infrastructure, and ensure local communities benefit from cruise tourism, with funds financing local port and tourism projects.
