Greece Reverses Restrictions: Motorhomes Allowed to Park Everywhere Again
Original source: CamperStyle.de

The Greek police have issued a clarifying ordinance, overturning controversial parking restrictions for motorhomes that had been in place since 2025. The new rules, effective February 15, 2026, state that motorhomes are subject to the same parking regulations as other vehicles. Within localities, motorhomes up to 7.5 meters in length can park without time limits, while longer ones are limited to 24 hours. Outside localities, there is no time limit, although wild camping remains prohibited.

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.
