Last-minute booking prices in the German market for the summer of 2025 in popular vacation destinations are falling, in some cases reaching 15% compared to previous months, with Greek islands not following this trend, although Kos is a unique exception.
According to an analysis by HolidayCheck of vacation packages offered by more than 65 travel agents, with last-minute travel package prices decreasing by up to 15%, German vacationing families can save up to 680 euros on a one-week vacation for four people.
The popular platform analyzed millions of last-minute deals, focusing on one-week vacations for families with two adults and two children aged 5 to 13, including transportation and at least one meal per day, for the period from June 28 to September 15, 2025, and found that average prices have decreased by 9-15% in many popular vacation destinations.
In the case of Greece, only in Kos is there a decrease in last-minute travel package prices, which averages a double-digit 11% for June bookings compared to May.
