Greece Film Cash Rebate

How Greece's Film Cash Rebate Works

Greece offers one of the highest cash rebates in Europe at 40% of eligible production expenditure. The program is administered by EKOME (National Centre of Audiovisual Media and Communication), which handles applications, approvals, and payments for both domestic and international productions.

Rebate Structure

The rebate applies to qualifying expenditure incurred in Greece, including goods and services purchased from Greek suppliers, wages paid to Greek crew, and other production-related costs. Minimum qualifying spend is EUR 60,000 for feature films and EUR 30,000 for documentaries.

Which Productions Are Eligible?

• Feature films (theatrical and streaming)
• Television series and miniseries
• Documentaries
• Animation productions
• Post-production and VFX work

Why Productions Choose Greece

Ancient and iconic locations. The Acropolis, Santorini, Meteora monasteries, and thousands of islands provide instantly recognizable Mediterranean settings.

Mediterranean light. Greece offers 250+ days of sunshine annually, with a quality of natural light prized by cinematographers.

Cost efficiency. Greek crew rates and local production costs are significantly lower than Western European markets like the UK or France.

Growing infrastructure. Nu Boyana Film Studios in Thessaloniki and expanding facilities in Athens support large-scale productions.
