Serbian Tourists in Pefkohori Have Their License Plates Removed: Parking Chaos and Greek Police Arrogance!
Imagine you’re on vacation, enjoying 11 days, your car parked right outside your accommodation, and then—bam! One morning, you wake up to find your license plates gone. Yes, you read that right! This is exactly what happened to a group of Serbian tourists in the popular Greek resort town of Pefkohori.
Parking Chaos – But Where’s the Justice?
Pefkohori is notorious for chaotic parking. Many tourists park on the street because there simply aren’t enough parking spots. Signs forbidding parking are everywhere, yet cars are parked all over, and trucks can still pass through. Still, the Greek police decided to remove license plates at night, as if these tourists were criminals or thieves.
The Serbian tourists complained in the Facebook group “Greek Info” that their plates were taken, even though their cars had been parked in the same spot for days without any issues. Some received fines, others lost their plates altogether. All this while they are spending money in Greece, and the police punish them without clear rules.
No Rules, Just Fines!
One tourist said, “Everything was fine for 11 days, and on the 12th day—plates removed!” The fine was paid, but now they have to go to the police station in Kasandria to retrieve their plates.
This is not an isolated case. A few days ago, the same thing happened on a neighboring street. Tourists are furious, and the situation is chaotic.
Why Is This Happening?
Pefkohori is flooded with tourists and cars, but parking spots are scarce. The police seem to be trying to solve the problem, but their methods are harsh, unfair, and confusing. Tourists feel like criminals, not guests contributing to the local economy.
The Bottom Line?
If you plan to vacation in Pefkohori, watch where you park! There are no clear rules, and the Greek police don’t hesitate to punish you. Is this just poor organization or deliberate harassment of tourists?
Either way, the situation is ridiculous and worth talking about. Have you had similar experiences? Share your stories because parking in Pefkohori is an adventure on its own!
Don’t be surprised if next time on vacation your plates disappear—maybe it’s the new tourist souvenir!
