Glamping in Greece: New Camping Standards

The term originated in the UK in 2005 and was officially recognized in Greece in 2020. Prices range from €90 per night for budget options to over €300 for luxury tents with jacuzzis and transparent roofs. Halkidiki is the main glamping hub in Northern Greece.

Traveling in Greece: Fire extinguisher requirements for car, bus and motorhome

Greek law, in effect since 2009, sets fire extinguisher requirements for different vehicle categories. For passenger cars (category M1), one Type 1 powder extinguisher (8A, 34B, C) is required. For buses with more than 8 seats and a maximum mass over 5 tons, two Type 3 extinguishers (21A, 113B, C) are needed. Motorhomes also require a Type 3 extinguisher. Authorities check labeling, expiry date, seal integrity, and pressure gauge readings.

Greece tightens crackdown on illegal motorhome conversions into buildings

The Greek Ministry of Environment and Energy (YPEN) issued a directive activating forestry and urban planning laws to dismantle motorhomes placed on protected lands. The order references a 1991 regulation on movable property in illegal structures and targets cases where temporary motorhome parking evolves into permanent unauthorized buildings. It mandates the removal of a motorhome in Corinthia and sets a precedent for similar cases nationwide.
