During this time, extensive checks were carried out in cooperation with the Greek Police and the local Municipalities in more than 150 beaches and more than 750 businesses. Complaints reviewed were primarily through the app MyCoast but also through citizens’ phone calls to the local Real Estate Services.
The general picture from the mass checks of the last weeks is clearly improved compared to previous years as the majority of businesses operating on the beaches have complied with the new rules and the new legal framework. However, the audits of the complaints also revealed several violations, which ranged from the absence of signage to excesses of the occupied space by additional umbrella seats, other constructions as well as cases where the occupation was arbitrary without a concession contract. All the prescribed administrative fines were imposed on all businesses that were found to be in violation, while in the cases where there was no contract, approximately 20 beach sections that were illegally occupied by umbrella seats were sealed in areas such as Rhodes, Messolonghi, Volos, Corfu, Parga, Thessaloniki, Heraklion, etc. These sections returned for free use by citizens. The fines imposed total more than 800,000 euros.
