Oh No.  Why would anyone need to grab beds?  That would completely put me off and totally at odds with my experience of this lovely village.  Why not just take a bed when you want to sit on it and leave it free when you don't?

God - It's the kumquat marmalade wars all over again!

I've not an issue with anyone reserving em as long as they use them.
By the way the hotel in Halkidiki would have taken some of yours Yiannis..... they had a two towel per one person rule!!!

We sometimes took the little man for a long walk/lunch round the village and if the Tsaros pool looked busy we would take our towels off..... fortunately  there was never anyone round it!!

When we stayed at thw Romanza it was also a bit of an issue. ..... two groups who knew each other would reserve about 12 beds between them. They tended to arrive around 10ish then bathe till circa 2. They would then go to the bar and often not return to their beds.
My opinion was they should have removed em if they had no intention of going back!!

BAJ:
Now we love the Romanza, we are returning for our fourth consecutive visit at the end of the month.
HOWEVER, we have now visited over all the six weeks of the school hols and everytime the sun bed booking has been present. It is exacerbated by groups who always go the same weeks and meet up every year, block booking beds. Usually sending one early riser down to put numerous towels down, but then not using them til near enough lunch time.
Rod is correct this causes a domino effect, if we are planning a day at the pool we take our towels down and put them on a bed on the way to breakfast. We do go straight to the beds after breakfast though.
Now for the devils advocate bit; I can understand this bed booking because of the 'use any pool policy' in the village. Quite simply for my family to spend 2 weeks there is quite expensive, we are paying for two rooms and four persons at full price, irrelevant these days that two are children. So I would be really peeved if on a day we had planned to spend at the hotel pool, we were paying to stay at, there were no beds because visitors were on them. I appreciate there may not be an issue with bed availability most of the year, but in the six weeks school hols there is rarely any spare beds and guests from nearby apartments do use the pool. To that end I can see the towels going down on the way to breakfast again!

Debra, that would be far too simple.
