I'd spoken to the guys collecting fees a few days ago and they said that a new system was going to start and they'd be able to take payment by credit card. They were complaining that the software was charging for too many days and were trying to get it fixed.
I think that they started using Wifi linked tablets yesterday but credit card readers aren't in use yet. We didn't have a problem extending our stay by several days. However, I heard comments from the next boat that a one night stay would be charged as 2 days. The guy collecting was apologetic and said that Athens people had said it was the law and that they would not modify the software.
I guess that's another place now charging from midnight - midnight for a single day. It seems likely that this will happen anywhere they roll out similar software. Perhaps there's still some scope to fudge it and guys collecting could enter incorrect dates (won't hold my breath). I know that this is the law but I guess adoption of IT systems is more likely to be a bad thing than a good one.
Single night stops get to about 20 euro if power is included. Prices are still low for 4-5 days as the effect of the extra day is diluted.
