A free channel manager for individual Airbnb hosts in Greece
A free channel manager for a Greek host works alongside the AMA registration number, issued by AADE via TaxisNet, mandatory for every legal short-term rental and displayed on every platform. New AMA registrations are currently banned in central Athens through the end of 2026, a genuinely unusual step on this list, an outright registration freeze rather than a cap or tax change. getfursat's free tier syncs Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda once you're registered.
Greek short lets sell mainly through Airbnb and Booking.com, heavily concentrated in Athens and the islands. The Athens moratorium is district-specific and time-bound, not a citywide or national rule.
The AMA (Arithmos Mitroou Akiniton) is issued by AADE, Greece's tax authority, applied for via TaxisNet using the owner's AFM tax number, property deed, building permit, and proof of compliance with Law 5170/2025; it must be displayed on every listing across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and any other platform. Registration itself is free, but compliance equipment and certifications typically cost €800 to €1,500 upfront. New AMA registrations are currently banned in the first three districts of the Municipality of Athens, in force until the end of 2026. On tax, a new, more favorable band was introduced for 2026: income between €12,001 and €24,000 is now taxed at 25%, down from the previous 35% on that range.
The Athens registration ban is district-specific and time-bound (through end of 2026), which means a property just outside the banned zone, or one registered before the ban took effect, sits in a genuinely different legal position than an identical property a few streets away, a distinction a channel manager's calendar sync has no way to know or warn about.
Do I need an AMA number to list my Greek property on Airbnb?
Yes. The AMA (Arithmos Mitroou Akiniton), issued by AADE via TaxisNet, is mandatory for every legal short-term rental and must be displayed on every platform listing.
Can I register a new short-term rental in central Athens right now?
Not in the first three districts of the Municipality of Athens. New AMA registrations there are banned until the end of 2026; properties outside those specific districts are unaffected.
How is short-term rental income taxed in Greece for 2026?
Progressively, with a new, more favorable band for 2026: income between €12,001 and €24,000 is taxed at 25%, down from the previous 35% rate on that range.
