Greek locals fed up with sunbed-covered beaches are relying on drones and a citizen reporting app to combat overcrowding.
Greek beaches covered in deckchairs are becoming a rarer sight as drones patrol to enforce new rules.
Restaurants, bars and rental companies without a permit for beach seating are being targeted.
The drones also scope out establishments placing seating too close to the sea – deckchairs and umbrellas must be at least four metres from the shore, according to legislation introduced in March. This means rental chairs are no longer allowed on beaches that are less than four metres wide.
