Thermal Tourism

The 2026 thermal tourism programme concerns 2,513 beneficiaries, who will be issued an individual thermal tourism voucher that may be used at contracted accommodation throughout the country. It includes holidays of up to six days (that is, up to five overnight stays) and five simple baths during the period from 10 June 2026 to 28 February 2027 inclusive.

IMPORTANT

The application to participate of interested thermal tourist accommodation businesses is submitted once in the same online application, for both the social tourism programme and the thermal tourism programme. In other words, a separate application is not submitted for each programme.

During the same period, paper (PDF, in Greek) applications to participate are also submitted by interested thermal spring and hydrotherapy centre businesses.

Beneficiaries of the thermal tourism programme who choose to use their vouchers at tourist accommodation contracted with LAE/OPEKA in the Municipalities of Istiaia–Aidipsos and Mantoudi–Limni–Agia Anna in the Regional Unit of Evia and in the Regional Units of Evros, Magnesia, Karditsa, Larissa and Trikala are entitled to up to thirteen (13) days – twelve (12) overnight stays, and up to eleven (11) free simple baths at legally operating thermal springs and hydrotherapy centres in the above Municipalities of the Regional Unit of Evia, as well as in the Regional Units of Evros, Magnesia, Karditsa, Larissa and Trikala, contracted with LAE/OPEKA.

Note:

Beneficiaries of the thermal tourism programme who choose destinations in the Regional Unit of Evros and on the islands of the North and South Aegean Regions without breakfast provided will take their holidays with no private contribution for accommodation.
