Only 4-star and 5-star ratings will be permitted for glamping units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To qualify for these ratings, establishments must adhere to strict technical specifications and accumulate a minimum number of points (6,000 for 4 stars and 7,000 for 5 stars) through a combination of mandatory and optional criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capacity and Spatial Regulations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To maintain the genuine connection with nature that defines glamping, Article 1 outlines specific spatial limits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Structure Capacity<\/strong>: Each unit may accommodate up to four adult beds, with an additional two beds available for children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Privacy Zones<\/strong>: A minimum distance of ten meters must be maintained between units to ensure guest privacy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Environmental Integration<\/strong>: At least fifty percent of the site must be covered with vegetation to provide natural shade and environmental protection. Internal transportation within the sites must also use eco-friendly methods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mandatory Accessibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new regulations strongly emphasize inclusivity. Article 2 mandates that glamping units adhere to the national \u201cDesign for All\u201d guidelines, which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Unobstructed Access<\/strong>: All indoor and outdoor areas must be fully accessible and safely navigable for individuals with disabilities or reduced mobility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dedicated Capacity<\/strong>: A minimum of five percent of total unit capacity must be designed specifically for guests with disabilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Technical Audits<\/strong>: Any new glamping structure must submit a formal accessibility study as part of the installation process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/greekreporter.com\/2026\/01\/06\/greece-regulations-glamping\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/greekreporter.com\/2026\/01\/06\/greece-regulations-glamping\/\"><strong>greekreporter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greece is taking significant measures to regulate glamping, the trendy &#8220;glamorous camping&#8221; experience, with the Ministry of Tourism unveiling a comprehensive legal framework.
