A few days after the infuriating complaint of a couple that say they were beaten on a beach in Halkidiki when they dared to sit with their towel on the beach and while the “towel movement” brought to light incidents where gateguards “defend” the business area on the beaches, one more complaint comes to confirm that the indecency in the tourist areas is unabated.
In particular, a woman’s complaint about a beach bar in Halkidiki, which forbade them to feed their child with food they had brought from home and urged them to go to the car, has been circulating on the internet for the last few hours.
According to the complaint, employees at the beach bar “challenged them to call the tourist police and told them they were doing them a favor by allowing them into the area with a cooler.”
The post about the beach bar in Halkidiki:
“A beach bar has taken over and appropriated the ENTIRE beach with signs everywhere telling you not to pass unless you sit at the beach bar and on their sunbeds.
With 2 babies and chaos everywhere, having forgotten our own umbrella, we are forced to sit down. Sunbeds 10 euros per person.
Food here stale and pathetic. We take out of our cooler to feed our child, food that we have brought especially for her and they come and make a fuss telling us the unbelievable to go to the car to feed her, because it is forbidden!!! After we have paid in the meantime, we have ordered stale food stuff from them at outrageous prices!
What racism against families!!
In other words, it is forbidden to sit freely on the beach, which is already illegal, it is also forbidden to bring anything for your child to eat.
You have to pay for their stale burgers.
They challenged us to call the tourist police because they are in the right and told us that they did us a favor by letting us in with the cooler.
I repeat, since we had already paid them in gold.
Tragic. I have never seen this anywhere before.
Share freely.
If we want something to change, let’s start talking and denouncing the abominations we see…
Such a shame for this otherwise beautiful place to be laid to waste.”
