Description
The sight of the Aegean Sea lapping up against a table and chairs on the beach is an idyllic, but often illegal, scene. In Greece, many beachfront businesses don't have licenses to set up so close to the water and, following a wave of protests last summer by local residents, authorities are now taking action. Surveillance drones, satellite imagery and an app allowing people to report malpractice are among the tools being rolled out by the Greek state to take back the beaches. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
