Greece’s tourism industry has had a remarkable run so far this year. From January to August 2025, the Bank of Greece estimates that tourism revenue almost reached 17 billion euros, about 2 billion more than at the same time last year. The number of visitors from abroad also increased, with arrivals rising by about 4 percent. That extra foot traffic helped boost travel earnings by 12 percent.

All told, the travel sector brought in a surplus of roughly 14.3 billion euros, up from about 13 billion in 2024.
The total amount of travel receipts was 16,712.0 million euros. This was due to more people travelling to the country and a 7.2% rise in the average amount spent per trip.
Receipts from EU-27 residents rose 9.4% to 9,182.9 million euros, while receipts from other countries increased 14.9% to 6,707.5 million euros. Inbound travel reached 25,920.7 thousand travellers, up 4.1%, with airport arrivals up 4.2% and road border arrivals up 4.8%.
