I hope to cover a small part of the damage suffered by tourism

Demand has increased since the end of October

“Demand was even higher 1.5 months before vacation than in previous years for three main reasons: first, many had chosen not to travel abroad in the midst of a pandemic; second, many did not take summer vacations this year . And thirdly, many feel pressured by quarantine ”, explains the president of the Panhellenic Network E-Real Estates, clarifying that the properties with the previous specifications that are available through short-term leases are not too many, there are areas whose availability does not exceed 10-20 properties.
