Winter resort prices ease

Hotels in popular winter resort destinations around Greece have reportedly lowered rates this holiday season compared to last year's prices.

    In the mountainous village of Arachova, located on the southern slopes of the
Parnassus mountain range, local hotel owners have reduced prices between 15 and 30 pct despite the fact that reservations are already as high as 90 pct, the president of the Arachova hotel owners' association told the ANA-MPA. Expectedly, even lower prices, down by up 50 pct, are offered to travelers who choose to visit the region after Jan. 9, following the end of the holidays.

    In the central and mountainous region of Evritania, hotel rates dropped 20 pct compared to last year, according to the local hotel owners' association, while occupancy rates are satisfactory. Lower prices are also available in hotels on Mt Pilio in the prefecture of Magnesia, the local association said.
