Greek police published a clarifying ordinance in February 2026 that eliminates uncertainty in parking rules for motorhomes. Motorhomes up to 7.5 meters long can park in built-up areas without time limits where permitted for regular vehicles. Parking is allowed on the roadside outside built-up areas, but setting up camping equipment remains prohibited.
