Greece Introduces €1000 Fines for Seashell and Pebble Collection
Euroweekly News | 01 Sep 2025 | Emily GayAs the country experiences record tourism in 2025, Greece is taking stronger measures to protect its natural and cultural treasures. With millions of visitors flocking to its beaches and islands, authorities have decided to crack down on practices that threaten fragile ecosystems and historic landmarks.
Tourists who remove pebbles, shells, or other items from protected beaches will now face up to €1,000 in fines. These elements are a vital part of the ecosystem, helping prevent erosion and supporting local marine life. While collecting a few seashells as souvenirs might seem harmless, over time, the practice can significantly damage delicate coastal environments.
Additionally, to maintain public access and preserve the natural charm of its beaches, laws require that 70 per cent of public beach areas remain free of sunbeds and rental chairs.
Greece is also bolstering protections for archaeological sites. Recently, a tourist removed a stone from a site in Naxos, and incidents like this have led to increased security measures, including fencing . . .

Sorry for the delay in posting the results. Sunday turned into an all day affair with the Outlaw Festival concert. Quite good, but time consuming. In any even the new matches will show up as usual.
