What You’re Getting with This Deal
Here’s the lowdown on DYPA’s program perks:
- Accommodations: Up to 6 nights at one of 1,444 approved tourist lodgings. Just you, your bags, and way fewer euros spent.
- Special Locations: Need more time to relax? On islands like Leros, Lesbos, Chios, Kos, and Samos, you’re entitled to 10 whole nights with no private fees. Planning to visit northern Evia or parts of Thessaly (Magnesia, Karditsa, Larissa, and Trikala)? Lucky you—enjoy up to 12 nights completely free.
- Ferry Tickets: Traveling on water? Ferry tickets are another benefit, subsidized at 75% for most and absolutely free for those with disabilities (AmEA).
A Word from DYPA
As DYPA highlighted in their announcement, the program doesn’t stop at generosity; Easter trips between April 11 and April 27, 2025, come with a 20% hike in subsidies for accommodation providers. For places like northern Evia, Evros, and parts of Thessaly (minus the Sporades), this bonus subsidy lasts all year. That’s right—more perks, less wallet panic.
How Long Is This Up for Grabs?
These subsidized vacations run through June 30, 2025. Wandering procrastinators, beware. Don’t snooze on this timeline unless missing budget-friendly sunny getaways is secretly your thing.
Meanwhile, on the Roads of Greece
In other news, let’s talk car taxes! Starting April 10, taxpayers can temporarily bring immobilized vehicles back on the road by paying road taxes month by month. So, no more excuses for abandoning your car’s license plates in the garage. Just don’t think you can sneakily re-park it and expect to use this option twice in one year. Not even close.
Easter vacations don’t have to be all about chocolate eggs and repeated arguments about whose lamb recipe is better. Plan smart, pay less, and let DYPA’s social tourism scheme do the heavy lifting. As they say, “Affordable getaways are just one voucher away”—okay, nobody says that, but they should.
