What changed in the licensing criteria?

  • The Ministry of Tourism has issued new criteria for licensing apartments and villas rented to guests by the day.
  • They cover stays of up to 29 consecutive days, and span the building, furnishings, safety and cleanliness.
  • A licence needs every criterion that applies to your place, so it helps to know early what is missing.
