How much does a website cost in Greece? What Greek businesses pay

A business website in Greece usually costs between €500 and €2,500 plus 24% VAT for a presentation site, and from about €900 to €8,000 or more for an e-shop, based on the price lists Greek agencies publish. Template offers from freelancers can cost a few hundred euros, and a custom-designed bilingual site with photography, film or a booking system sits above those ranges. On top of the build, budget roughly €50 to €300 a year for hosting and €200 to €800 a year for maintenance. Below are the published price points, what actually drives the cost, and how to compare quotes.

What Greek agencies publish

Many Greek web agencies show their packages openly, which makes the market easier to read than in most countries. A few examples from current price pages:

• Dazzlink (Athens) lists three packages, all excluding 24% VAT: a static site of up to 6 sections from €600, a dynamic site with a content management system and up to 12 sections from €1,200, and a site of up to 24 sections with a product catalogue from €1,800. Hosting is a separate service.
• Clickproject lists websites at €500 (5 pages), €900 (10 pages, booking form, live chat), €1,400 (15 pages) and from €1,800 for larger sites that include an additional language. Its e-shop packages run from €900 to €2,500 and up, with marketplace integrations such as Skroutz and Bestprice in the middle tiers. The page does not say whether VAT is included.
• BeeDigital gives market ranges for 2026: €500 to €1,200 for a simple company site, €1,200 to €2,500 for a professional business site, €1,500 to €5,000 for a hotel site with booking, and €2,500 to €8,000 or more for an e-shop.

Below these, freelancers and small studios advertise sites for a few hundred euros. At that price, expect a ready-made theme with your logo and text dropped in.

Always check the VAT line

Most Greek price lists exclude VAT, and Greece's standard rate is 24%. A €1,200 quote becomes €1,488 once VAT is added. When you compare two offers, make sure both are either with or without VAT.

What drives the price

Two sites that both cost "€1,200" can be completely different products. These are the factors that move the number:

1. Template or custom design. A theme adapted to your colours is fast and cheap. A design made for your business costs more, but it's what makes a premium business look premium.
2. Number of pages and sections. Most packages are priced by page count. A site with a page for each service ranks and converts better than one long page, so this is not the place to save.
3. Who writes the content. Many quotes assume you provide all text and photos. Copywriting, translation and photography can add as much as the build itself.
4. Languages. See the next section.
5. E-commerce. Payment gateways from Greek banks, shipping rules, invoicing, stock sync and marketplace feeds each add work.
6. Booking and integrations. Appointment booking, a room reservation engine, a CRM or a link to a listing platform.
7. Content management. Whether you can edit the site yourself after launch, or need to call the developer for every change.

Greek and English: what a bilingual site really costs

For many Greek businesses, English is not optional. Hotels, restaurants, car dealers, clinics and property agents all deal with foreign buyers, residents and the diaspora. A proper bilingual site is more than a translation plugin:

• Real translation. Machine translation reads badly to a native speaker and can be wrong on technical terms. Budget for a human translator or careful review.
• Separate pages for each language, each with its own address, so Google can show the Greek page to Greek searchers and the English page to everyone else.
• Greek in the address bar. Decide early whether page addresses use Greek characters or a Latin transliteration. Latin addresses are easier to share and type, which is why most sites use them.
• Fonts that support Greek well. Many display fonts look elegant in Latin letters but have no Greek characters, or poor ones. Check the typeface in both alphabets before approving a design.
• Two versions to maintain. Every new page, price change or offer has to be updated twice. Choose a content system that makes that easy.

In our experience, adding a second language adds roughly 20% to 40% to the build, and more if the content needs writing from scratch.

The yearly costs nobody puts on the first quote

A website is not a one-time purchase. Plan for:

• Domain name: a .gr domain costs little. Technopolis (open.gr), for example, charges €25 for a two-year registration or renewal, plus VAT. Other registrars charge more or less.
• Hosting: €50 to €300 a year depending on traffic and service level, according to BeeDigital's ranges.
• Maintenance: updates, backups and security fixes, about €200 to €800 a year. Sites built on popular plugins need this most.
• Content changes: new pages, seasonal offers or new stock if you can't edit the site yourself.

The rules that apply to a Greek business site

Your site has to meet EU rules, and a good quote accounts for them:

• Cookie consent. Analytics and advertising cookies need the visitor's prior consent through a proper banner, with a real choice to refuse.
• Privacy notice. If your site collects names, phone numbers or email addresses through forms, it needs a privacy notice under the GDPR.
• Accessibility. The European Accessibility Act applies from 28 June 2025 and covers e-commerce services. The directive includes an exemption for microenterprises that provide services, so a very small business may not be covered, but anyone selling online should confirm their position with an advisor, and building to accessibility standards from the start costs far less than fixing a site later.

Is there still a subsidy for websites?

Greece has funded digital tools for small businesses before. The "Digital Tools for SMEs" voucher programme under Greece 2.0 offered vouchers from €900 to €18,000 depending on company size, but applications ran from June to November 2022 and the programme is now listed as inactive. New programmes do appear, so check the current calls before you sign, but don't delay a project waiting for a subsidy that may not come.

A marketplace profile or your own site?

Many Greek businesses rely on a marketplace or platform profile: car.gr for dealers, booking platforms for hotels, Skroutz for shops. These bring traffic, and you should keep them. But a profile looks like every other profile on the platform, the platform controls the page, and the visitor is one click away from a competitor.

Your own site is where you control the first impression, show what makes you different, and own the contact. The two work best together: the site presents the business and links to the platform listings where buyers expect to see them.

How to compare quotes

Ask every agency the same questions, in writing:

• Is VAT included?
• How many pages, and in which languages? Who writes and translates the content?
• Is the design custom, or a theme? Can I see the theme name?
• Who owns the domain and the hosting account? (It should be you, in your name.)
• Can I edit text, photos and prices myself? Is training included?
• What happens after launch: which support is included, for how long, and what does it cost after that?
• Is there a yearly licence fee for the theme, plugins or platform?
• Are speed, mobile layout, basic SEO and cookie consent included?

Be wary of a very low price combined with a yearly "licence" you can't leave, a domain registered in the agency's name, or a site you can't edit without paying for each change.

When a cheap site is fine

A €300 to €600 template site is a reasonable start if you need a basic online presence, most of your clients come from referrals, and you don't plan to advertise. It's a poor choice if you sell premium products, compete with businesses that have strong sites, or plan to spend on ads: a weak site wastes ad budget.

Where PNE fits

For Papaioannou, a premium and collector car dealer on Kifissias Avenue in Kifissia, the dealership had only a marketplace profile. PNE designed and built a site in Greek and English that opens on the showroom at night and walks the visitor inside as they scroll, with films made for the site, every car linked to its car.gr listing and price, and a call button that stays on screen on phones. You can see the result in the Papaioannou case study. Our website design service covers custom design, both languages, content management and the setup that comes with launch.
