Great question!
Few years ago my family and I went to Zakynthos and Athens and used an Airbnb and had a great experience!
I would say it depends if you want a place to cook and wash clothes then Airbnb in Greece works. If you want to not cook at all want to use a laundry service, pool and gym then a hotel would be a good fit.
Hope this helps!

Airbnb always! I feel like they're more worth it and much more comfortable to stay in. If you're traveling in a big group you can get a bigger airbnb and split the price between everyone and it'll be more worth it.
I agree with you. We were a party of 13 and stayed at AirBnB for mosst of the 3 weeks in different parts of Greece, except for our stay in Athens and Delphi. The owners and or their agents could not have been nicer often leaving fruit baskets for the group. But if you research hotels and apartments you can get some really good deals at the smaller places. We stayed away from the large commercial places. Thef next time we went we stayed outside of Alexandria in an AirBnB in the little town of Kymina which is about 40 minutes by bus west of Thessaloniki.

I hear that there are some great AirBnBs in Greece, though I have never done it. I tend to stay in hotels and resorts, and that seems to suit my needs. It depends on who I am traveling with - I would prefer an AirBnB if I were traveling with a big group of friends, but with my family I tend to prefer a hotel.

Kymina is beautiful! AirBnb's are always how I find hidden gems in Greece because many local Greeks rent their summer homes on Airbnb which are usually in smaller and more remote beach towns. If you want to go to classic tourist spots...get a hotel. But if you're looking to experience authentic Greek spots that are more lowkey then Airbnb can be great

When choosing between Airbnb or a hotel in Greece, I lean toward Airbnb. Staying in an Airbnb can give you a real taste of local life. You often get a unique place with character and have the chance to chat with your host, who can share great insider tips about the area. It feels cozier and more like home. Plus, if you’re traveling with a group, it can be way cheaper than booking several hotel rooms.
On the other hand, hotels do have their perks, like room service and amenities. But for me, the charm of an Airbnb often wins out. If you need some guidance or help with the logistics, check out Airbnb Management Melbourne; they have some great options. Overall, it comes down to what kind of experience you’re after, but I’d suggest giving Airbnb a shot!
