Other Tourist Scams in Zakynthos

Sunbed and Umbrella Territorial Markup

Beach vendors in Tsilivi and Laganas claim "reserved" sunbed and umbrella rights, charging tourists EUR 8-15 per day despite these being public beach amenities. Vendors use intimidation—moving umbrellas or threatening to remove unattended belongings—to enforce payment. Some "claim" daily fees were mandatory, though they are technically illegal.
