How far above an ordinary night
In Athens, 2 of the 95 compared nights asked 15% or more above nearby nights of their kind; the largest difference was +19%, on Thursday 31 December 2026.
| Difference against nearby nights of its kind | Nights | Share of measured nights |
|---|---|---|
| +30% or more | 0 | 0% |
| +15% to +29% | 2 | 2% |
| 0% to +14% | 43 | 45% |
| Below 0% | 50 | 53% |
| Not compared | 0 | 0% |
Not compared: fewer than 3 measured nights of the same kind within 7 days, or a difference above +150%, which reads as a broken scan rather than a market. Nights priced more than 3 times above or below the window's middle are already left out of the window.
The most expensive weekends (Friday + Saturday)
In Athens, the most expensive weekend measured is Friday 1 January 2027 and Saturday 2 January 2027: medians of €99 and €95, €194 summed.
| Friday | Saturday | Friday median | Saturday median | Sum of the two medians |

| 29 January 2027 | 30 January 2027 | €88 | €88 | €176 |
A weekend is listed only when both its Friday and its Saturday night were measured; the sum adds two medians and is not the price of any one stay.
Stretches of high prices
In Athens, the longest run of consecutive nights each 15% or more above nearby nights of its kind goes from 30 December 2026 to 31 December 2026 (2 nights), peaking at €98 on Thursday 31 December 2026.
| From | To | Nights | Highest median | Largest difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 December 2026 | 31 December 2026 | 2 | €98 | +19% |
A run needs at least two consecutive measured nights; a night not measured or not compared ends it.
Events and holidays on measured nights
In Athens, published events and holidays on measured nights: 4; the one furthest above nearby nights of its kind was the night of Friday 1 January 2027 (New Year's Day): +11%, a median of €99.

| Saturday 26 December 2026 | Glorifying Mother of God | €94 | +6% | 5 of 95 |
| Wednesday 6 January 2027 | Epiphany | €78 | -1% | 63 of 95 |
| Friday 25 December 2026 | Christmas Day | €87 | -2% | 27 of 95 |
An event or holiday is listed only where its night was measured and compared; an event found automatically also needs a source and a difference of at least +15%. The difference belongs to the night: it says what that night asked, not why.
