Greece has banned motorhomes

[Rolyan57]

My understanding is that the new law permits 1 Motorhome to park on private land [e.g. supermarket Car Park], *BUT* if a 2nd Motorhome arrives, then each has broken the law and both can expect to be fined ... This is the sort of illogical lawmaking that led to Aristophanes writing 'The Birds', where a country was governed by a fictional body of birds, whose less than perfect lawmaking could be derided with impunity. Had the same criticism been made of the actual Greek Government centuries ago, Aristophanes would have been charged with treason, and possibly have been executed; but he was safe whilst the action took place in Cloudcuckooland ... . An early version of a cunning stunt!

I’m just wondering what the legislation is referring to when it refers to only parking where permitted in the HC. That suggests that there are areas where there could be several. It’s hard to tell from the legislation and although we’ll all interpret it differently, it’s a shame there’s no one to ask.

As I say, if it’s as bad as is being reported, it spells the end of motorhoming in Greece. Is that what they really want? Or do they think that parking in car parks is okay?

I understand that Greeks who use a M/Home as their their sole transport and who are registered as Greek citizens are also caught by the ban ... Law o Unintended Consequences an' all that ...
