The Greek government is pressing ahead with a new tourist tax, which will cost visitors an extra €0.5 to €4 per person per night.
The tax, which is being introduced on January 1 next year, will be based on the star-rating of the accommodation.
Those staying in hotels with a one or two-star rating will be charged 50 cents a night, at three-star hotels the tax is €1.5, four-star hotels must charge €3, and five-star €4 per person per night.
The tax must be paid direct to hoteliers on arrival.
The government is introducing the charge to boost overall tax revenues.

well is ok to pay the tax if greek authorities have a good eye on the hotels and not give them corrupted star ratings lol
You can just see the arguments at Reception on arrival - eg a family of 6 arriving for 2 weeks in a 4* being presented with a bill for 250 euros at 10pm !!!!!!!! (which some will claim,they know nothing about)-to say nothing of the extra charges for air conditioning and a room safe:(

The tax is per room not per person.
