The Institute of SETE-INSETE provides regional and national statistical data on Greek tourism in Excel format. The latest update, released in April 2025, is based on the Border Survey conducted by the Bank of Greece. It includes comprehensive data at both national and regional levels for the period 2010–2024, covering:

  • Arrivals of non-residents by country of origin
  • Overnight stays of non-residents by country of origin
  • Tourism receipts from non-residents by country of origin
  • Average expenditure per journey by country of origin
  • Average expenditure per overnight stay by country of origin
  • Average duration of stay by country of origin

According to the data, non-resident arrivals in Greece reached a record high in 2024, with approximately 36 million visitors—an increase of 9.8% compared to 2023 and 14.7% above pre-pandemic levels. The leading source markets were Germany (15.0% of total arrivals), followed by the United Kingdom (12.6%) and Italy (5.6%).
