Back to newsShort-term rental activity in Greece is at peak levels this summer, with Crete among the most in-demand destinations. Platforms such as Airbnb are seeing high occupancy rates across the island, particularly in popular areas like Heraklion, Chania, and Rethymno. For tourists, this means booking accommodation early is strongly advised, as availability tightens significantly from July onward. Last-minute searches are likely to yield fewer options and higher nightly rates compared to spring. Travelers with flexible dates may find better availability in shoulder-season months such as June or September, when prices are also more competitive. Those visiting during peak weeks in July and August should confirm reservations well in advance and consider less central locations for more options.
