The number of rooms at five-star hotels in Greece rose by 31.4 percent from 2009 to 2013, according to a survey conducted by the Research Institute for Tourism of the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels.
The comparison between the range of hotels in Greece today with that five years ago makes it clear that the country’s accommodation capacity is being constantly upgraded. The number of rooms at four-star hotels increased by 4.2 percent in the same period, while rooms at three-star units were augmented by 6.5 percent. On the other hand, two-star hotels saw the number of their available rooms shrink by 1.5 percent and one-star units had 2.8 percent fewer rooms to offer.

Whole article is quite interesting to read.

Either that or the Greek Tourist Organisation is categorising previously three-star accommodation as four-star and previously four-star as five-star... I can only shudder at the thought of what a one-star Greek hotel must be like.

One star hotels? Those were the days! Outdoor showers consisting of a plastic barrel painted black with a tube and a bunged up rosette. Having a shave while being watched by a cockroach. And all for 25dr a nght (when 69 dr = £1).
Just call me sentimental.
