However, December figures were encouraging, since average occupancy rate was 7.9% higher compared with 2019.
The report said that, according to the European Benchmark, average room prices in Athens were lower compared with the city’s competitors, like Istanbul, with revenue per available room at 83.95 euros on average in 2022, up from 82.20 euros in 2019.
