Original source: Actualno.com

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.

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.

Greece tightens crackdown on illegal motorhome conversions into buildings

The Greek Ministry of Environment and Energy (YPEN) issued a directive activating forestry and urban planning laws to dismantle motorhomes placed on protected lands. The order references a 1991 regulation on movable property in illegal structures and targets cases where temporary motorhome parking evolves into permanent unauthorized buildings. It mandates the removal of a motorhome in Corinthia and sets a precedent for similar cases nationwide.

Greek police conducted 9 inspections of motorhomes in three days with no violations found

The Hellenic Motorhome Club (ELAT) reported unjustified pressure on motorhome owners in the Diakopto area. According to the club, following complaints from the Panhellenic Association of Camping Owners, police inspected the motorhome parking site nine times in three days, finding no violations. The club states that parking and living inside a motorhome is legal as long as no external equipment is deployed, and calls for an end to using police resources to pressure alternative tourism.
