Greek Tourism Ministry allows camper van stopping, parking

The Greek Ministry of Tourism has reversed course on restrictions against camper vans, allowing stopping and parking after public outcry. The initial law, passed in January, severely limited camper van parking, even in public areas, and imposed hefty fines. This followed the penalization of camper van owners, sparking protests from the alternative tourism community. The reversal came after a meeting with the Hellenic Camper Club, acknowledging the need for designated temporary parking areas. The new regulation aligns with the Road Traffic Code, impacting thousands of camper vans.
