Is it normal that people in front of the bar demanding keys to my car?

Yes, it is normal, not only in Greek Islands but also in Greek cities, especially in high-end places.

Unfortunately, the whole point is usually to not appear to officially work for the bar.

  • Is the valet properly insured and officially employed?
  • Does the establishment hold a valid license for the parking space?
  • If there is a fee for parking there (sometimes there is), can the establishment legally declare such revenue?

Most of the times the answers are no.

In Athens you can also be approached by ‘a guy from the bar’ to park your car illegally on the street in front of the bar, for a fee.

On the bright side, I’ve had my car parked like this many times per year with no problem.
