Fatal sunbed dispute leaves man dead on Athens beach

An argument over a sunbed at Akti Vouliagmenis beach in Athens left an 82-year-old man dead from cardiac arrest after a confrontation with a 76-year-old man; the latter was arrested for suspected fatal bodily injury and the accompanying 21-year-old woman was released. The incident highlights Greece’s ongoing sunbed disputes amid tourism growth, with authorities using drones, satellite imagery and the MyCoast app to target illegal sunbeds and enforce rules requiring most of the beach to be unobstructed and sunbeds set back from the shoreline.
