Οn most of the Greek islands and mainland Greece, visitors can also find accommodation in private houses (rooms to let) which are operating under the special seal of the Greek National Tourism Organisation. Moreover, there are more than 340 campings all over the country, offering 30,000 camping spaces and 2,500 small houses.

Hotel Classification

Hotels, as well as rooms and apartments to let, are subject to a rating system determined by the Greek National Tourist Organisation. In particular, their classification is based on:
    *  Class designation (old rating system): Lux, A, B, C, D, E
    *  Star ratings (new rating system):  5*****, 4****, 3***, 2**,  1*

In terms of technical specifications, it should be noted that class L (Deluxe) hotels correspond to 5*****, A to 4****, B to 3***, C to 2**, and D and E to 1*.  Until completion of the new rating system, some hotels will continue to feature the class-based designation, while others will display star ratings.  Thus, if you wish to search for a Deluxe hotel, you should search both under Class L and 5*****, etc.
