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.

Greek police conducted 9 inspections of motorhomes in three days with no violations found

The Hellenic Motorhome Club (ELAT) reported unjustified pressure on motorhome owners in the Diakopto area. According to the club, following complaints from the Panhellenic Association of Camping Owners, police inspected the motorhome parking site nine times in three days, finding no violations. The club states that parking and living inside a motorhome is legal as long as no external equipment is deployed, and calls for an end to using police resources to pressure alternative tourism.

Clear Rules for Motorhomes in the Peloponnese

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.
