Seamless Corporate Accounting & Tax Compliance
We understand that business travel demands proper documentation for company audits and tax filings.

Official Rental Receipt (Απόδειξη Είσπραξης Ενοικίου): Upon checkout, we issue a signed, formal private rent receipt detailing your company’s name, tax ID/VAT number, your specific dates of stay, and the exact financial breakdown.
Official AADE* Short-Term Rental Declaration Printout (Αντίγραφο της Δήλωσης Βραχυχρόνιας): If required, we can also provide an official PDF printout directly from the Greek Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) registry proving your stay is legally logged with the state.
