A total of 130 beaches across Greece, including Spetses, Hydra, Poros, Aegina, Rhodes, Crete and Kefalonia are up for lease. Interested parties can apply online on the ministry’s Diavgeia site https://diavgeia.gov.gr/ within seven working days of the ministry announcement. In relevant news, extensive checks will be carried out by a Financial Crime Squad team during the summer months in order to ensure the shoreline law is being kept to.
