In beaches of Greece, bathers have the possibility to check whether the deck chairs and umbrellas of a company are within the area legally granted to it.
In particular, the tool available to citizens is MyCoast, the application through which citizens can see the details of concessions on the Aegean Sea and lodge a complaint in the event of a breach.

MyCoast: How you control a beach
The process is simple and can be done by the phone. The user opens the MyCoast app and locates the beach he is on.
It can then be seen on the map the licensed areas of the sea and the beach and the limits to which the development of umbrellas, beds and other elements is allowed.
Of particular importance is the concession sign, which must be at a prominent point in beach. It shall include the coordinates, the number of the concession decision, the rights and obligations of the concessionaire and the chart of the area granted.
The bather can thus compare the actual image on the beach with the limits shown in the application.
If deck chairs or umbrellas have been placed outside the licensed area, it is possible to exceed the concession.

An infringement may also be found when there is arbitrary occupation of a part of the sea or the beach that has not been granted to an undertaking.

How you make a complaint via MyCoast
Where the bather finds that there is a possible infringement, he may lodge a complaint directly through the application.
The procedure shall be carried out electronically and the user shall be required to specify the point and type of infringement.
The application is designed to allow citizens to control compliance with the conditions of concessions and to report cases of over- or arbitrary occupation.

Another important element that bathers need to know is that granting an area to a business does not mean that the entire beach can be occupied by umbrellas and deck chairs.
Citizens have the right to use the licensed areas, respecting the prescribed restrictions, but also the part of the sea or beach that remains free from concessions of simple use.
