Greece has a tourist tax in some cities, not nationwide. Applies more broadly across popular islands and Athens than many other European tourist taxes.
A "climate crisis resilience fee" applies per night, scaled by accommodation category and season — higher in peak summer months.
Usually added to your hotel bill automatically.
Almost never — tourist and accommodation taxes are typically excluded from the headline price shown by booking sites and added separately at check-in or check-out, so it's worth budgeting a small buffer.
Banks and airport kiosks quietly add 3–7% to every exchange through worse rates and fees. A Wise account converts your money at the real mid-market rate, holds 40+ currencies, and comes with a card that works at ATMs and terminals in Greece like a local one — usually the cheapest way for travelers to spend abroad.
