A large number of Greek taxpayers and households are unable to pay their taxes, as hyper taxation has generated 2.6 billion new debts towards the state. Only in the first two months of 2017 a little under 34,0000 home owners were faced with enforcement measures on salaries and properties.

Hotels from across Greece were included in the list of “Loved By Guests Awards” compiled by hotel booking agency Hotels.com for 2017. Crete, Athens, Mykonos and Santorini had a strong presence in the list, with two Athenian hotels were awarded the “Golden Star” award.
