Greece vacation prep advice and steep beach‑chair fees

Travelers planning a Greek holiday are advised to ready their homes before departure: empty and clean the fridge, tidy the house, unplug non‑essential appliances, arrange plant watering, inform alarm providers, use timed lighting, store valuables securely, and check the car's condition.

At the same time, visitors to organized beaches across Greece face high costs for sun‑loungers. In Kassandra (Chalkidiki) the first row costs €120 per person, with lower rows at €80, €75 and €35. Similar prices are reported in Skíatho (€70), Crete and Sitia (€50‑€45), Naxos (€60‑€50), Zakynthos (€60‑€40), and Vouliagmeni where weekday rates reach €120 and weekend rates up to €150. In Mykonos, a first‑row lounger can cost €120, with premium spots demanding thousands of euros.
