Hi Fedor,
Unfortunately we don’t have a significant number of active members from hostels in Greece or Cyprus who could help you out with this information. (Unless there are some lurkers who would like to come out and join the conversation?)
Some of the hostels that exist may actually be classified as hotels or other accommodation types in order to secure a license. The ones that are set up as not-for-profit may, in fact, be quite profitable for the owners.
If the hotel classification is too expensive, would the authorities allow you to set up your business as a different type of accommodation? Perhaps a pension, apartment rental, or some other variant of classification could work just as well to get the permissions you need.
Good luck with the project!
