Today, Friday, August 21, at 11:59 p.m., is the deadline for submitting applications to participate in the new “Tourism for All 2026–2027” program.

Applicants can submit their application online through the dedicated platform using their Taxisnet credentials, while the process can also be completed in person at any Citizens’ Service Centre (KEP).

Applications can be submitted:

• Online, through the dedicated platform, using Taxisnet credentials.
• Applications can also be submitted through gov.gr and the vouchers.gov.gr platform using personal Taxisnet credentials. Applicants can also be assisted through KEPs.

The new, upgraded “Tourism for All 2026–2027” program aims to boost domestic tourism, with an emphasis on extending the tourist season and spreading visitor activity geographically and throughout the year.

As part of this strategy, 70% of the program’s total budget is allocated to holidays taking place from October through April, while higher subsidy amounts are provided for the winter and shoulder months.

The program also has a stronger social focus and expands the income criteria so that more households can participate. For single people without children, the maximum income threshold has been increased to €21,000, from €19,000, while for married couples without children it has been raised to €33,000, from €31,000 previously.

There are also significant provisions for larger families, with income thresholds increasing by €5,000 per child for single-parent families and families with more than four children, with no upper limit. In addition, selected beneficiaries with four or more dependent children will receive an additional subsidy of €50 per child.

For the first time, people with a disability rate of 67% or higher, as well as families with children with disabilities, are included in the program without income criteria.

The program will be implemented in two phases, with the first ending on June 30, 2027, and the second on December 31, 2027. There will be no new lottery for the second phase, as beneficiaries will be selected from the waiting list created during the first process.

The program is being implemented in cooperation with the Ministries of National Economy and Finance, Development, and Digital Governance, with the implementation body being Information Society S.A.

It is noted that today, citizens can submit an application regardless of the final digit of their tax identification number (AFM).

Detailed information on eligibility criteria and guidance for potential beneficiaries is available through the program’s website, as well as through the Program Support Office, which operates from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 210 2150231.
