  • Greece is launching a new "Tourism for All 2026-2027" program to subsidize vacations for more citizens.

Greece is set to launch its "Tourism for All 2026-2027" program, aiming to provide significant financial support for vacations to a broader range of citizens. The initiative raises income thresholds and increases subsidy amounts, offering up to 600 euros for eligible individuals.

New income ceilings have been established: 21,000 euros for single individuals without dependents (up from 19,000 euros), 33,000 euros for married couples without children (up from 31,000 euros), and up to 58,000 euros for large families. These adjustments are expected to bring more households into the program's reach.

Individuals with certified disabilities of 67% or higher, and families with dependent children with disabilities, will be eligible regardless of income. The subsidy amounts range from 200 to 600 euros, depending on the beneficiary category and the travel period. Large families will receive an additional 50 euros per child from the fourth child onwards.

The program particularly encourages travel during the off-peak season, from October to April, to support the tourism sector year-round. Applications will be submitted online via gov.gr and vouchers.gov.gr, with assistance available at Citizen Service Centers (KEP) for those needing help. Funds will be disbursed via a non-physical digital debit card, usable exclusively for accommodation expenses at participating tourist facilities. Beneficiary selection will be conducted through an electronic lottery.
