Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Athens. Athens and the islands are two businesses. The islands run a short, intense summer with hard shoulders, while Athens can work most of the year. Athens has also frozen new short-term rental registrations in its central districts, which protects existing listings. I price island summers by the week and Athens around city-break seasons and Orthodox Easter.
For an Athens flat or island home I start with the AMA status and local rules, then decide whether the property is a city break, a ferry stopover or a weekly island holiday. I build seasonal targets for each, with clear Easter dates and realistic winter plans.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Athens.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

Most island homes close or sit idle, while Athens keeps city breaks going; I price Athens weekends for European couples and use the Athens Marathon in November as a small spike.
Orthodox Easter and spring sightseeing make this Athens' best stretch, so I lift weekends early and open the first island weeks with flexible stays for couples.
Island weeks run full and Athens shifts to stopover guests between ferries; I keep island pricing weekly and price Athens one to three nights around ferry and flight times.
Warm seas and calmer crowds suit couples on the islands and city breakers in Athens; I keep September close to summer and step rates down only once October pickup slows.
Price island homes on weekly stays from June to September.
Price Orthodox Easter as a premium, noting it often differs from Western Easter.
Set Athens spring and autumn as main seasons with 2 to 3-night minimums.
Keep the AMA registration number on every listing.
Set island shoulder floors that still cover cleaning and ferry logistics.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How well the island listing explains the ferry or flight connections, transfer times and luggage logistics, since guests compare homes by how easy the journey is as much as by price.
Busiest in Athens: June to September on the islands, April to June and September to October in Athens. September to October: Warm seas and calmer crowds suit couples on the islands and city breakers in Athens; I keep September close to summer and step rates down only once October pickup slows. April to May: Orthodox Easter and spring sightseeing make this Athens' best stretch, so I lift weekends early and open the first island weeks with flexible stays for couples. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Island seasonality with hard shoulder-season floors, Athens year-round strategy, and AMA-compliant listing management.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.

Set Athens spring and autumn as main seasons with 2 to 3-night minimums. Next: set island shoulder floors that still cover cleaning and ferry logistics.
Paros and Naxos: Family-friendly Cycladic islands with a slightly longer season than Mykonos; I price weekly summer stays and keep shorter stays open in June and September.
