**Frequently Asked Questions About Setting Up Glamping Tents in Greece**
**Is it necessary to store the tents during winter?**
Our tents are designed to remain outdoors during the winter, so we recommend keeping them operational year-round!
**What type of base should I use for the tents?**
We recommend a steel structure with a wooden or WPC deck to keep the tents elevated off the ground. If you have a building permit and concrete is allowed, that is also an economical option.
**Why choose our glamping tents?**
The material provides UV protection and is highly resistant to weather, allowing year-round use, including in winter. The PVC material is durable and requires no maintenance. Additionally, the round design of all our models offers great wind resistance.

**How are the tents installed?**
We provide detailed instructions so you can install the tents independently. For large orders within Greece, we can arrange installation at an additional charge. We also offer nationwide installation, engineering consultations, and CE-certified construction documentation as required.
**Do glamping tents in Greece require a building permit?**
For containers or wooden cabins, a standard building permit is required, but no social security contributions are needed since they’re prefabricated. For tents (domes, almond, bell, etc.), a building permit is not required if they’re placed on a wooden platform and are not affixed to the ground or concrete. If water and electricity are already available on-site, they can be connected without a permit. However, adding a bathroom with a septic connection classifies the tents as permanent structures, requiring a temporary building permit. Labeling the space as an exhibition center allows for restroom installations without specific planning requirements.
Our technical office has conducted structural studies for all of our designs, enabling a faster building permit process. Note that a building permit is necessary for obtaining a tax ID for short-term rentals, subsidies, or operational licenses when tents are set up on vacant land. Tents can be set up as independent units using solar power and chemical toilets. This does not apply to established businesses with an active operational license.
**Technical Study for Glamping Tents**
Our office has completed structural studies for all our designs, ensuring a quick and easy permitting process for investors. We also provide ISO certification for our tent construction and materials. Studies are not shared with other technical offices.
**How do I begin setting up glamping accommodations on my property?**
– A topographical survey reviewed by a civil engineer is required.
– A technical study will determine if the property is suitable for building and zoning permits, depending on the type of accommodation (hotel, campsite, etc.).
– A building permit is issued based on the construction.
– Approximately two months after construction begins, the accommodations will be delivered.
– We provide assembly instructions or offer installation services upon request.
**Is an operational permit required to run a glamping site?**
1. You can obtain a camping permit if allowed by land-use zoning, with the help of an engineer who will review the topography and land-use regulations. Specific guidelines apply; see relevant legal references. Existing campsites or hotels may also apply for optional glamping permits.
2. Alternatively, you may operate glamping accommodations without an operational permit through short-term rentals; however, this limits service provisions under the same VAT number. Without a permit, subsidies cannot be obtained. For short-term rental options, refer to the POMIDA website. On booking platforms like Airbnb, do not list with a rental registration number and select “exempt property” (treehouse, tent, etc.).
**Can I apply for Development or ESPA funding for glamping?**
You can qualify for such funding only if operating as a licensed campsite or 3*+ hotel, whether existing or new.
**I have a campsite or hotel; can we add glamping tents?**
Yes, we can set up large volumes of tents with a timeline for delivery.
