I think we get enough agro in our lives at home without taking it with us on holidays especially to this "Island of the Gods'. All it takes is to remove the offending towel, place it in a dry spot and use the sunlounge yourself for the time you want it. The worst thing that can happen if the "owner" comes along is probably a raised eyebrow, some comment about "stealing their lounge" of they will grab their towel and walk off in a huff (also don't expect any free drink at the bar that night from them!!!). Last time i checked a towel on a piece of furniture does not constitute "Dibs" on anything. I would tell them they are more than welcome to the lounge when i have finished with it. Do you really think the mature thing to do is to throw their towels or sandles in the pool hough - you would certainly get a serve from me as well and it really isn't called for. Enjoy you holiday, chill out a bit and take on some of the peaceful persona of the very people we love so much to visit - that is exactly what i will be doing for the next month. cheers
