DYPA offers €25 book voucher with extra 10% discount

Greece's DYPA is running its 2026 book voucher program, offering 150,000 beneficiaries an electronic voucher worth €25 for book purchases.

The program began on Sept. 1, 2026, and runs through Dec. 31. Each voucher includes VAT, and participating booksellers and publishers apply an additional 10% discount to the book's price.

The voucher is not a paper coupon. It is a unique electronic code that beneficiaries and eligible family members can use to choose a book from participating providers. The code must be checked and activated by a bookseller or publisher registered in DYPA's provider registry.

Beneficiaries can redeem the voucher throughout the four-month period, but the article advises those seeking a particular title not to wait until the final days, when it may no longer be available at their chosen store. The voucher cannot be used at every bookseller, only at participating businesses listed by DYPA.

The program has a total budget of €3.75 million, corresponding to 150,000 vouchers worth €25 each. Beneficiaries must provide the required identification details and follow the instructions given by the participating bookseller or publisher.
