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.
