Hotel staff in Greece start clearing sunbeds to stop guests claiming them

A hotel in Rhodes, Greece, has implemented a policy where staff remove towels and personal items from unoccupied sunbeds to prevent guests from reserving them. This practice was captured on video by a UK tourist, Lucie Hewes, who described how many holidaymakers ignored the rule by leaving belongings on sunbeds while they went to breakfast or back to their rooms. Staff members systematically cleared these items daily, leading to confusion among some guests who returned to find their things missing or their preferred spot taken. While some guests expressed frustration, others supported the policy, calling it fair and necessary to ensure equal access to sunbeds. The incident has sparked renewed discussions about the ongoing issue of sunbed allocation during British holidays abroad.
