Arrival fee - new disembarkation fee in Greece

2025-06-26 20:57:19

From July 1, 2025, Greece is introducing a new fee for ship passengers who will disembark in Greek ports. This is important information for tourists planning cruises around the Greek islands. Disembarkation rates will depend on the season and location. The highest fees will apply to Santorini and Mykonos.

The new fee, the so-called "arrival fee", will be charged for each disembarkation at a given port. It will be paid by passengers on all cruises, both those organized by travel agencies and those on individual trips. Only the crew of the ships will be exempt from the fee. Some cruise lines may automatically add the fee to the cost of the ticket - it is worth checking this when booking.

The fee, which will come into force next Tuesday, will be charged per person and per port, regardless of the length of stay or the form of disembarkation (e.g. by support boat).

Fee rates

• During the high season (June 1-September 30) the fee in the ports of Santorini and Mykonos will be €20, in other ports it will be €5.
• During the low season (April 1 – May 31 and October 1–31) the fee will be lower – in Santorini and Mykonos it will be €12, in other ports: €3.
• During the winter season the fees will be even lower and will be €4 to Mykonos and Santorini and €1 to other ports.

In 2024, Greek ports were expected to handle more than 5,500 ship calls and almost 8 million passengers. The new fee will bring Greece hundreds of millions of euros a year, which will be divided between local governments, port authorities and the relevant ministry.

The main objective of introducing the new fee is to limit overtourism in the most crowded destinations, such as Santorini and Mykonos. The fee is also supposed to be painful for one-day tourists from cruise ships, who treat the port as a temporary attraction only. However, these are not the only reasons. As we wrote above, the revenue from the new tax will support the budgets of local communities, which have to handle huge numbers of visitors - often many times more than the number of inhabitants. It will also help maintain and modernize port infrastructure, including rescue, sanitary and transport services. It will also help introduce sustainable tourism development, especially in the context of protecting the natural environment and cultural heritage.

Dla wysp dobrze, bo tłumy z wycieczkowców odstraszają turystów, którzy pojechali na wakacje. Nie zostawiają grosza, a robią tłok. Wiele osób rezygnuje z wycieczki na Santorini, bo wyspa jest zapchana przez gości z wielkich wycieczkowców.
