Greek Tourism Spreads Beyond Q3 Peak as 2025 Off-Season Receipts Near 50%

Summary
IOBE said Greece is drawing more international visitors and tourism spending outside July-September, with 2023-2025 arrivals beyond the peak quarter rising above the 2005-2022 average.
2025 marked a record year for off-peak tourism receipts: nearly 46% of EU visitor revenue and almost 50% from non-EU visitors came outside the summer peak.
Non-EU travelers remain a key driver of the shift, showing consistently lower seasonality than EU markets and helping distribute demand more evenly through the year.
Visitor behavior is also changing, with average stays still shortening but off-season spending per overnight stay rising and the gap in trip length between peak and off-peak periods narrowing.
IOBE said the pattern points to a gradual easing of tourism seasonality, supporting Greece's long-running goal of spreading tourism activity across the full year.
