Bed war in Greece: wakes up at 4am, towels everywhere.

The 'war over sunbeds' has spread to Greece, where tourists complain about hotels reserving sunbeds with towels but leaving them unused, forcing guests to lie on the ground to get close to the pool. This issue became legal in Germany after a tourist sued his travel agency for failing to ensure reasonable access to sunbeds at a luxury resort on the island of Kos. The court ruled in favor of the tourist, awarding nearly €1,000 in compensation. Meanwhile, in Zakynthos, some hotel staff have taken matters into their own hands by removing unused sunbeds to give them to actual users. One such incident went viral on social media, sparking widespread discussion.
