  ABSTRACT: As climate change increasingly affects Mediterranean regions, the tourism sector in Greece faces heightened vulnerability to extreme weather, water scarcity, and environmental degradation. This study investigates the implementation of climate risk mitigation strategies among hotel companies in Greece, using original questionnaire data from 225 firms across mainland and island locations. The findings indicate moderate adoption of mitigation practices, with 52% of hotels reporting structured climate strategies, 43% using renewable energy, and 39% investing in green transport. Barriers include financial constraints (76%) and lack of technical knowledge (52%). These results align with broader European literature and highlight the urgent need for targeted policy support, capacity-building, and sector-specific incentives to enhance resilience and environmental performance in Greek hospitality.
