Accommodation Prices in Greece 2026: Studio, Apartment, Hotel and Villa — What a Night Really Costs by Region
A night in a studio for two in Greece 2026 ranges from ~€25 in June on Thassos to over €300 for a villa in peak season in Sithonia. We break down accommodation prices by type (studio, apartment, room, 3–5* hotel, villa) and by region (Kassandra, Sithonia, Thassos, Olympic Riviera, Kavala), plus what pushes the price up and how to pay up to 40 % less.
After „how much does food cost", the most common pre-trip question is: how much for accommodation? The answer depends on the type of place, the region and — above all — the dates. A night in a studio for two in 2026 runs from ~€25 in June on Thassos to over €300 for a villa in peak season in Sithonia. This guide gives concrete prices by type and by region, plus three tricks that cut the bill by 30–40 %.
Accommodation prices by type (per night, off-peak → peak)
Price is set first by the type of place and the number of beds. A studio is best value for two; an apartment with a kitchen wins for a family; a hotel is what you pay for service (breakfast/half-board, pool, cleaning). Ranges apply to northern Greece (Halkidiki, Thassos, Pieria, Kavala) — the most popular direction for drivers from the Balkans.
| Type | For whom | Price / night 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Studio (2 people) | Couple, kitchenette | €25–60 |
| Apartment (4 people) | Family, full kitchen | €40–95 |
| Room (guesthouse) | No kitchen, short stay | €30–55 |
| Hotel 3* (2 pers, breakfast) | Service, no cooking | €60–110 |
| Hotel 4* (2 pers, half-board) | Comfort, pool | €110–200 |
| Hotel 5* / resort | All-inclusive, luxury | €200–450+ |
| Villa (6–8 pers, pool) | Group, privacy | €150–350+ |
💡 For two, a studio is almost always the best value; for a family of four an apartment with a kitchen halves your food bill (breakfast and dinner „at home"). Browse current availability and prices by date on the accommodation page.
Accommodation prices by region 2026
The second big factor is the region. More developed, „fashionable" destinations (Kassandra, front-row Sithonia) cost more; Thassos, the Olympic Riviera and the Kavala Riviera offer the best sea-to-price ratio. Below are rough prices for a studio/apartment in season:
| Region | Studio / apartment (night) | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Kassandra (Halkidiki) | €40–80 | Most developed, lively, higher prices |
| Sithonia (Halkidiki) | €40–90 | Nature, best beaches; front row pricier |
| Thassos | €30–65 | Green island, great value by the sea |
| Olympic Riviera (Pieria) | €30–60 | Paralia, Olympic Beach; affordable, near Thessaloniki |
| Kavala Riviera | €30–60 | Nea Peramos, Nea Iraklitsa; quiet, cheaper |
💡 The same destination can vary by 50 % depending on distance to the sea, the view and the dates. „Front row" and a sea view are the priciest add-ons — 100 m back inland the price drops noticeably.
What raises (and lowers) the price
- Dates. Peak (late July – 20 August) is the most expensive; June and September are 20–40 % cheaper with the same warm sea.
- Distance to the sea and the view. A „sea view" and the front row are premium; 200–400 m inland is much cheaper.
- Kitchen. A studio/apartment with a kitchen costs more per night than a room, but saves overall because you cook some meals.
- Pool, parking, A/C, lift. Every „plus" raises the price; parking matters if you're driving.
- Number of nights. Stays of 7+ nights often have a lower per-night rate than 2–3 nights.
- When you book. Early booking (winter/spring) grabs the best places and rates; last-minute is a lottery.
Seasonality — how much the price moves through summer
The same apartment can cost very differently depending on the week. Rough level versus the average:
| Period | Price level | Note |
|---|---|---|
| June | −20 to −40 % | Warm sea, calm, best value |
| First half of July | average | Season picks up |
| Late July – 20 August | +20 to +50 % (peak) | Most expensive and busiest |
| September | −15 to −35 % | Warm sea, empty beaches, cheaper |

How to pay less for accommodation (up to 40 %)
- Go in June or September. The single biggest saving — same sea, price down by a third.
- Book early. The best places (near the sea, with parking) go first; early booking = choice + lower price.
- Skip the front row. 200–400 m from the beach the price drops noticeably, and you still walk to the sea.
- Take an apartment with a kitchen. Cooking some meals cuts the total holiday cost by more than the kitchen adds.
- Longer stay = lower per-night rate. Ask for a discount on 7+ nights; many hosts offer it.
- Contact the host directly. Without middleman fees the price can be lower — send an enquiry through our accommodation listings.
