Legal and Law Advice for the Tourism Industry
Our network of experienced independent attorneys has been servicing the Greek tourism industry for many years. They have a comprehensive understanding of Greek Tourism Law, including property and planning laws, and other zoning laws as they apply to tourism buildings.
For people and businesses who are interested in the legal requirements for starting a tourism business in Greece, including establishing a company, licensing requirements and any cultural heritage protection laws, we are able to assist through our consultancy services and independent legal partners.
Our independent attorney partners provide comprehensive legal services to the hospitality industry, including providing advice on tourism compliance, regulations, applications for tourism and tourist permits and general help and guidance.
Irrespective of whether you are launching a tourism business or project (such as a new hotel, kayak or walking tours, or even purchasing an existing maritime / ferry company), we will guide you through the regulatory application and approval process from start to finish, coordinating with independent qualified professionals where required. We have also helped international tourism agencies and operators conduct due diligence on, and purchase, tour operators and travel agencies through our professional network.
We have helped businesses from overseas such as Canada and Dubai purchase Greek tourism companies and have also assisted expats and non-residents in Greece to establish their tourism operations.

Our independent professional partners have a comprehensive knowledge of the Double Tax Treaties with many countries and know and understand the accounting and taxation side of operating tourism businesses in Greece.
We have helped Airbnb operators navigate taxation and compliance requirements for Airbnb properties through our independent professional network, and our partners have a working knowledge of the tax, VAT and other compliance requirements for hotels and tourism operations in Greece.
