Housing Becoming a Problem in GreeceGreece is among the countries in Europe with the highest number of empty apartments, found a study released by the Institute for Research and Social Change – Eteron.According to the Athens-based research company, there are currently more than 750,000 closed apartments in Greece which could have been used to address the rising housing problem exacerbated by the Airbnb phenomenon. Indicatively, in 2022, the number of properties available online for short-term tourist rental increased to 144,857 from 136,658 in pre-pandemic 2019.According to Eteron data, in 2011, 31 percent of all homes in Athens were empty or not in use, 28 percent in Piraeus, and 28.2 percent in Thessaloniki. At the same time, the lack of availability of long-term rentals has sent rents soaring: up by 50 percent in Athens compared to 2017 and by 30-40 percent in Thessaloniki, Patra and Volos.Eteron describes the high number of vacant homes in urban areas and the non-utilization of available building resources as “scandalous” particularly at a time of increasing housing problems.
