Greece Clarifies Motorhome Parking Rules: New Limits and Bans
Original source: Newsbomb

In Brief

Greek police issued a directive distinguishing legal parking from illegal camping. In towns, motorhomes up to 7.5m park freely; longer ones up to 24 hours. Outside towns, parking is unlimited unless signs prohibit it.

The Greek police have issued a clarifying directive that regulates parking for motorhomes and caravans based on the Highway Code. The document clearly separates legal parking from illegal camping.

Key provisions

  • In built-up areas, vehicles up to 7.5 meters long may park without restrictions.
  • Longer motorhomes and all caravans are limited to 24 hours.
  • Outside built-up areas, parking is allowed in designated spots without the 24-hour limit, provided no prohibitory signs are present.
  • Setting up awnings, furniture, or other external camping equipment is prohibited.

The directive aims to end years of confusion over where and how long motorhomes can be parked. Owners are advised to review the new rules to avoid fines.
