Penalties for "golden sunbeds" on the beaches and exorbitant prices

Inspections by the multi-agency Market Watch Group are intensifying as complaints of overpriced sunbeds, as well as food at beach cafeterias and dining ferries, have intensified.

In connection with the fifteenth of August, the number of daily inspections of prices for goods and services by the Inter-Agency Market Control Group (Διυπηρεσιακή Μονάδα Ελέγχου Αγοράς, ΔΙΜΕΑ) of the Ministry of Development and Investment is increasing significantly, with an emphasis on tourist areas. Complaints about the cost of sun loungers and meals offered in the ship’s canteens have added to the list the auditors are targeting.

Checks are intensifying across the entire range of the market, however, complaints received these days on telephone 1520 of the General Secretariat for Trade and Consumer Protection, mainly concern sun loungers and umbrellas on beaches, as well as food prices in canteens on ships, especially on the coastal shipping lines of the Cyclades and Dodecanese.

ΔΙΜΕΑ officials check the price lists in the ship’s canteens for pricing, as well as profit margins, and to see if there are enough cheaper items, such as a small bottle of water, for example.

Control is also tightening in the fuel market, across its range from refineries to filling stations. It was established that in some tourist destinations high prices were recorded at the controlled gas station (discrepancy in the documentation submitted to the relevant service, data on purchases and sales, as well as fuel reserves). Based on the data, it is determined how much the owner of the gas station buys, how much he sells and how much he earns to determine if there are any violations. We remind you that prices are published on the website fuelprices.gr.
