The Short Stay Athens Conference, the official conference of Stama Greece, returns on February 19–20 at the DAIS Event Center, reaffirming its role as the annual benchmark event for the short-term rental market in Greece and Southeastern Europe. This year’s edition places strong emphasis on in-depth market analysis and on preparing industry professionals for the developments of the coming years.
One of the conference’s key presentations will be delivered by AirDNA analyst Camilo Schmid Rivas, who will provide a comprehensive analysis of the Greek short-term rental market, based on real data and a comparative assessment against competing Mediterranean destinations.
Key data on the Greek short-term rental market
The presentation will focus on the performance of the market in 2025, analyzing critical indicators such as occupancy rates, average daily rates (ADR), revenues, and demand trends. This will offer a clear picture of the current state of Greece’s vacation rental market. At the same time, it will highlight the key differences between urban markets—such as Athens and Thessaloniki—and leisure destinations, with particular emphasis on the Greek islands and regions showing strong growth potential.
Of particular interest will be the comparative analysis between Greece and other Mediterranean markets, including Croatia, Spain, and Italy. Through this comparison, AirDNA will position Greece within the broader competitive Mediterranean landscape, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for further growth.
Forecasts for 2026
In the second part of the presentation, Camilo Schmid Rivas will outline AirDNA’s forecasts for 2026, focusing on the evolution of seasonality, shifts in traveler behavior, and external factors affecting the market, such as economic conditions and the regulatory environment. These insights are especially valuable at a time when industry professionals are required to make medium- and long-term strategic decisions.
The presentation will conclude with practical insights and actionable recommendations tailored to property managers and owners, aiming to maximize revenue and adapt to changing market conditions. AirDNA’s approach goes beyond market reporting, focusing on transforming data into effective strategic tools.
AirDNA’s participation in the Short Stay Athens Conference underscores the importance of the event, offering industry professionals a comprehensive market overview, reliable future forecasts, and insights that are difficult to replicate through fragmented information.
