New beach/sunbed rules in Greece

[Truth]

I think you're spot on there Jo 👏👏

Earlier in this thread Harold mentioned that preparations were underway on the North Beach, last September there was no sand and very difficult access, I wonder if it will be usable this year ? Having said that the South beach was much bigger and easy to get to.....I wonder if some enterprising operator will apply for a bed license there ?

Christina has some sunbeds out on the North beach and there is much more sand than last year and improving every day I have been told.

That sounds promising, hopefully the access will be easy this year.

Hi
Sunbeds in Paraskevi today were 85 euro for front row  and 65 euro for back row.
They were the 4 poster type

There is a distinct lack of sunbeds on the main beach but have seen Pedro's who said  been told that someone has bought his business but the paperwork is holding things up.

Glad he's managed to sell it

It is very strange to see no beds at the south end & a shame as most of the beach has landed there this year. Beds outside Inas are €14 a set with a free bottle of water. Horizon beds are all reserved for their guests. Some beds in front of Thalassa & The Marina. Ammos & portofino have their beds out but not as many as usual. The beach is narrower here & tapers to nothing but a thin stony strip in front of Marinaki. It's sad to see all their beds piled up by their apartments.
We still prefer Dimitri's beds & he has 2 rows on the first section & another row past the cliff. Anyone heading for the beds on the naturist north beach will have to be prepared to wade through the waters. A bit tricky yesterday with a choppy sea x

Hi

I just read your post Karen & Colin €14 for sunbeds if you are there for two weeks and like the beach and do no trips that works out at €196 that is a big lump out of the beer funds
What did we do before sunbeds a beach towel laid out on the sand and that was fine back in the day I am not overly keen on sunbeds
But now it's all luxurious sunbeds
When we was in Sri Lanka the pool attendant would put a thick mattress and give you two very large towels each sunbeds free and on the beaches
When we are in the marina pool Arillas we get sunbeds but I spend most of the time in the pool or walking about I am not the one to spend all day on a sunbed
We all have our opinions it's like marmite you love it or loathe it

When we left on Thursday there was still a lack of sunbeds. Had to be down by 10 to ensure we got one.

Hi
Has the silly price for sunbeds reached Arillas?

Val tells me on a FB forum that a new arrival yesterday was told beds were 35 euro for the front row and 25 euro for the second row. Did not say which beds.
Any truth

Does not sound right to me. - Maybe someone in Arillas will know more this afternoon.

I THINK I heard Ammos do their super comfy look like a double bed ones for about that. I may be wrong and if so I apologise
