Medical tourism makes Halandri Airbnb hotspot

The concentration of hospitals in Halandri and the growing trends of medical tourism and short-term property rentals advertised on the Internet have combined to increase demand for accommodation in the northern Athens suburb on home-sharing platforms.

"Athens has expanded considerably in terms of demand," says Nasos Gavalas, head of Eazybnb, a company specializing in the professional management of third parties' properties rented out via Airbnb: "We have noted significant demand also for areas such as Halandri, mainly thanks to medical tourism, as well as coastal Attica."

He goes on to stress another significant trend in the home-sharing market: the intention of increasing numbers of visitors to spend more money on accommodation during their stay in Greece as long as the quality standards of the properties leased and the hospitality services match their expectations.
