Greece is fighting against mass tourism: cuts for many - new rules on beaches. New rules are now planned to come into force before the start of the summer season.
It is planned that 70 percent of beach areas in Greece should remain free of sunbeds. In addition, new minimum distances have been set on beaches so that sun loungers must be at least four meters from the shore. The new rules are intended to ensure public access to the beaches. Aim is to prevent entire beaches from being taken over by parasol rental companies and bars.
