Brit hols islands face sunbed crackdown as ‘Towel Movement’ campaign gets hundreds of beach loungers scrapped
Meanwhile, the representative of the Citizens' Movement of Paros Christos Georgousis reported being kicked out of a beach after he refused to pay for a sunbed while pointing out that some businesses even employ bouncers.
Asked about the cost of sunbeds in Santa Maria beach, he replied that the sunbeds at the back could start at £35 and the ones at the front could reach £100 . The Citizens' Movement of Paros argues that business activities are ruining the island while locals are being left with limited space to enjoy the beach.
The group said in a previous statement: "We claim our right to public space, our right to enjoy our beaches that are encroached upon by greedy, socially irresponsible businessmen who occupy beaches in their entirety or exceed their limits by up to 100 times the area they legally lease." The declaration of the sunbed wars started in Paros but similar initiatives have started to form in other islands including Rhodes, Naxos and Serifos.
