Greece allows motorhome parking in towns, awning ban remains
Original source: Travel News

In Brief

Greece eases parking rules: motorhomes up to 7.5 m can park indefinitely in built-up areas; larger ones up to 24 hours. Setting up awnings or outdoor equipment is still prohibited.

Greece has amended its traffic rules to allow motorhomes up to 7.5 m in length to park in built-up areas without time limits, like passenger cars. Larger vehicles and trailers are limited to 24 hours.

The ban on deploying awnings or placing equipment outside remains in force, with fines for violations. The change aims to reverse a tourism slump: in 2024 Greece received 50,000 motorhomes, but only 5,000 in 2025. The European sector accounts for 110 million overnight stays and a turnover of 33 billion euros.

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.
