2. The main tourist accommodation facilities must have an approved distinctive title.

3. Hotels and organised tourist camping sites must, within 50 days of their notification of operation, issue a classification certificate from the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels.

4. NB! The notification of the swimming pools of the tourist accommodation is now submitted with the notification of the tourist accommodation establishment in the MIS https://openbusiness.mindev.gov.gr/, provided that the operator of the tourist accommodation establishment is the same as the operator of the swimming pool. The documents relating to the swimming pool are specified in procedure MITOS 357446.
