Clear Rules for Motorhomes in the Peloponnese
Original source: anagnostis.org

The Greek Police have issued a clarifying directive establishing uniform parking rules for motorhomes and caravans in the Peloponnese. Parking is permitted for up to 24 hours in residential areas for vehicles over 7.5 meters long and for trailers, while outside residential areas it is allowed without time limits. The key distinction is that deploying stabilizer legs, awnings, or placing furniture outside is classified as illegal camping and incurs fines.

Glamping in Greece: New Camping Standards

Glamping, or glamorous camping, is gaining popularity in Greece, offering pre-set tents with beds, private bathrooms, and WiFi. 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.
