Applications for the Social Tourism 2026-2027<\/strong> programme start on Tuesday (21\/04)<\/b>, according to the DYPA. <\/p>\n

The start of applications starts earlier than in previous years in order to give beneficiaries the opportunity to organise their holidays from spring. At the same time, the aim is to decongest high demand months and boost off-peak tourism activity. <\/p>\n

For this year, 300,000 vouchers<\/strong> are planned, with a total budget of 50 million euros<\/strong>. Each voucher is for a unique number for the beneficiary and his\/her family members. <\/p>\n

The program covers up to six nights<\/strong> at participating properties in the Providers Registry<\/strong>, with a small private participation<\/strong> by the beneficiary. <\/p>\n

Beneficiaries of the Social Tourism<\/strong> scheme who choose accommodation in Northern Evia<\/strong> (Municipalities of Istiaiaia-Aidipsou<\/strong> and Mandoudi-Limni-Agia Anna<\/strong>), but also in the Regional Units of Magnesia<\/strong>, Karditsa<\/strong>, Larissa<\/strong>, Trikala<\/strong> and Evros<\/strong>, can secure up to 12 free nights<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Similarly, for those who use vouchers<\/strong> on islands such as Leros<\/strong>, Lesvos<\/strong>, Chios<\/strong>, Kos<\/strong>, Samos<\/strong> and Rhodes<\/strong>, up to 10 nights<\/strong> are provided without any private participation<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Subsidy on ferry tickets<\/strong> <\/h3>\n<\/h3>\n

The program also covers ferry tickets<\/strong>. Beneficiaries pay just 25%<\/strong>, while for disabled people<\/strong> tickets are provided free<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

As for providers, subsidy prices remain increased by 20%<\/strong> for the Christmas<\/strong> period (15\/12\/2025 – 14\/01\/2026). The same increased subsidy applies throughout the year for accommodation in Northern Evia<\/strong>, Evros<\/strong> and Thessaly<\/strong>, with the exception of Sporades<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
