Clear Rules for Motorhomes in the Peloponnese

The Greek Police have issued a clarifying directive establishing uniform parking rules for motorhomes and caravans in the Peloponnese. Parking is permitted for up to 24 hours in residential areas for vehicles over 7.5 meters long and for trailers, while outside residential areas it is allowed without time limits. The key distinction is that deploying stabilizer legs, awnings, or placing furniture outside is classified as illegal camping and incurs fines.
