Greece’s tourism sector records modest growth in July 2026, with provisional data from the national statistics authority (ELSTAT) showing an increase in both visitor arrivals and overnight stays. Arrivals rise 2.5%, while overnight stays increase 2%.
Across the figures reported, foreign visitors account for the majority of demand. They make up more than 80% of total arrivals and nearly 88% of overnight stays, indicating that international travelers are the main driver of the month’s gains.
The outlet coverage focuses primarily on these aggregate ELSTAT results and the share of foreign visitors, rather than offering additional detail such as country-by-country performance, hotel occupancy trends, or regional differences within Greece. Overall, the reporting is consistent in describing the same statistical increases and the same breakdown by visitor origin.
