A German tourist is awarded nearly €1,000 in damages after he says he was unable to secure sunlounger access for himself and his family at a hotel on the Greek island of Kos. According to court reporting from Germany, the man sued after spending time each morning searching for available loungers. He says he woke up at dawn and searched for about 20 minutes, but other guests had already taken the loungers before his family could use them.
A court in Hanover finds in his favour, stating that he is entitled to a payout. The outlets agree that the decision is linked to the hotel situation during the 2024 holiday and the lack of available loungers during the time he claims he attempted to obtain them.
The tourist’s name is not published in the reporting. The reported amount is €1,000 in total, described as almost €1,000, reflecting damages ordered by the German court.
