Greek tax authorities have fined and temporarily shut down several businesses in popular tourist destinations, including an art shop on Mykonos accused of failing to issue receipts worth more than 100,000 euros, as part of a nationwide crackdown on tax evasion.
The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) said its inspectors have stepped up checks on islands and the mainland during the peak summer season.
The Mykonos art shop was fined 13,000 euros and ordered closed for two days after it was found to have hidden approximately 107,000 euros in sales and failed to pay 26,000 euros in VAT.
An Italian restaurant on the same island was also fined and closed for not declaring 28,000 euros in sales.
Inspectors are focusing on undeclared revenue by checking cash registers and cross-referencing data with the state's myData platform. Similar fines and closures were also reported on the islands of Astypalea, Lesvos, Paros, and Milos, and in cities on Crete.
