And while the Tourism and Hotels sector is opposed to the announcements made by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Thessaloniki regarding short-term leasing, as well as the new charges in the sector – with the only one publicly taking a stand, the president of POX Yiannis Hatzis -, the government he failed today to announce what those areas are, adding to the confusion.
All along, government leaks, reproduced by the entire media, have indicated that the approach will be at the zip code, ie neighborhood, level. Today some leaks, to the extent that they are accurate, refer to all of the first 3 municipal apartments of Athens. It is worth noting, however, that after such preparation and while the Ministry of National Economy and Finance announced in detail the complete network of economic measures, not even the areas where the ban will be imposed, nor of course the amount of the climate change resilience fee is announced , which raises reasonable questions, at least…
According to today’s leaks, the ban will include municipal districts 1, 2 and 3, which include the following areas:
1st municipal district of Athens
The 1st municipal district of Athens includes the center of Athens and in more detail:
– Koukaki
-Plaka
-Kolonaki
– Syntagma – Omonia – Monastiraki
-Exarcheia
-Ilisia
-Neapoli
2nd municipal district of Athens
The 2nd municipal district of Athens includes the districts from Neo Kosmos to Panathinaikos Stadium and in more detail:
-Mets
-Neos Kosmos
– Agios Artemios
-Pagrati
3rd municipal district of Athens
And finally, the 3rd municipal district of Athens includes the districts under the Acropolis, namely:
-Votanikos
-Metaxourgio
-Gazi
– Petralona
– Rouf
– Thisio
According to these leaks, areas with a very high concentration of short-term rental properties are left out, such as Ampelokipoi, Gyzi, Alexandra Avenue, Goudi (hospitals), Byronas, Zografou, Kallithea, Galatsi, Neo Psychiko, etc.
It remains unknown when and which government body will make the relevant announcements, while the delay of these announcements raises questions.
As well as the silence of the industry sectors…
