According to the court, leasing a property via a digital platform does not automatically mean that the property has been converted into a tourist accommodation. Determining the actual use of each property falls under the authority of the municipal urban planning department, which must assess every reported case individually.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"634\" data-end=\"1172\">The ruling follows 16 appeals filed by the Hellenic Society for the Environment and Cultural Heritage (ELLET), concerning the conversion of entire buildings into Airbnb properties in Plaka. ELLET had requested the closure of these accommodations, arguing that such conversions violated the area\u2019s residential protection status. However, the City of Athens\u2019 Urban Planning Department rejected the request, noting that neither urban planning nor tourism legislation classifies short-term rental homes as tourist accommodations by default.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1174\" data-end=\"1225\">The\u00a0reasoning of the\u00a0Council on short-term rentals<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1577\">The Council\u2019s Fifth Chamber, in decisions such as 1907\/2025, clarified that short-term leases are not automatically subject to tourism regulations. The nature of a property\u2019s use must be determined by actual facts: an Airbnb rental is not automatically a tourist accommodation, just as a hotel remains one even if it does not use an online platform.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"1964\">The court also stressed that a property can only be considered as used for tourism purposes when it meets the criteria defined by tourism legislation. This means that the competent municipal planning authority\u2014such as the City of Athens\u2019 Urban Planning Service\u2014has the responsibility to assess each case, and if a violation is found, to impose sanctions such as sealing the property.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1966\" data-end=\"2007\">A \u201cwindow\u201d for guesthouses in Plaka<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2008\" data-end=\"2410\">Of particular interest is the court\u2019s clarification regarding Plaka: the area\u2019s protection decree excludes guesthouses from the general restrictions. Therefore, if a property\u2019s use resembles that of a guesthouse, it can be deemed lawful, even when operated through Airbnb. This effectively opens a \u201cwindow\u201d in favor of short-term rentals, especially in areas with strict residential protection rules.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2412\" data-end=\"2428\">Next steps<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2429\" data-end=\"2698\">The Council of State postponed its final ruling for six months, giving the Ministry of Tourism time to submit its official position. Meanwhile, the City of Athens must inspect the properties mentioned in the appeals. The next hearing has been set for <strong data-start=\"2680\" data-end=\"2695\">May 6, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2700\" data-end=\"2944\">This is seen as a balanced decision acknowledging arguments from both sides: Airbnb properties are not automatically classified as tourist uses, though the court does not rule out that some may, in practice, operate as tourist accommodations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"legislation\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1762984152\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Council of State: Airbnb rentals in Plaka deemed legal \u2013 The municipality will oversee short-term rentals\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/bnbnews.gr\/en\/\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greece\u2019s Council of State has ruled that renting properties through Airbnb in the historic Plaka district is lawful \u2014 a landmark decision for the future of short-term rentals in the country.
