With great effort and often amidst the panic, fear and terror caused by war, Israelis are seeking refuge in Greek Airbnb's. They are looking for temporary housing for their families - wives and children, away from their homeland, away from the war zone.

Greece and Cyprus are friendly countries Israelis consider Greece one of the closest and friendliest countries. The same is true of Cyprus.

Israel: the cost of war publications - who lost their jobs It is no coincidence that more and more Israelis have been choosing our country for vacations in recent years. Israelis have, in fact, become one of the top 5 leading customers of our domestic travel industry, along with Americans. This is illustrative of the historic record of visitation in 2022 alone''Israelis in Greece, reaching 722,549 visitors. In Thessaloniki, for example, 11% of overnight stays are accounted for by Israelis. Thus, for many of them it is a familiar country, but this time they are not coming to enjoy the Greek summer, but are forced to leave their country because of the war.

Real Estate in Greece According to market experts, Israelis coming to our country are looking for properties through short-term rentals, as they do not know how long they will have to stay in Greece to be safe away from the war. They prefer such properties over hotels as it is a more affordable accommodation option.

At the same time, real estate purchase deals by Israelis that were supposed to take place in the coming days are canceled one by one or''are put on "pause" until a new notice.

The Airbnb shelter Georgios Kanellopoulos, a board member of STAMA (an association of short-term rental companies), says in an interview, "The fact is that since last week we have had cancellations from Israelis who booked our vacation properties long before, and apparently because of the war they can't come. On the other hand, there has been an increased demand for Airbnb type properties from people seeking refuge in Athens, away from the war." Most, Mr. Kanellopoulos said, are looking for properties in central Athens. Other Israelis on vacation in another country are using Athens as an intermediate point and renting through Airbnb until they know what's next. He cites the example of a couple who were in Italy when''real estate in the center of Athens and the southern suburbs even before the war started. According to Kosmas Theodoridis, president of the European Real Estate Union, real estate contracts have been canceled one after another in recent days, "For example, I had a very large real estate contract canceled that was going to be purchased by an investor from Israel, but as soon as he was drafted into the army, the contract was canceled. Some are already drafted and some are waiting, and even if someone is not drafted and is safely away from the war, it is still difficult to make an investment during the war," explains Mr. Theodoridis.
