Camping Kastraki
Greece, South, Peloponnese, Nafplio

Ancient Assini, where Camping Kastraki is located, inspired the Nobel Prize winning poet, George Seferis, to write one of his most beautiful poems. This alone attracts the more romantic traveller to head for this wonderful coast. Others attracted by the magic of the shores of the Argolid will not be disappointed. Camping Kastraki, run personally by the owner, offers 170 good pitches set amongst the eucalyptus and pine trees that border a narrow shingle beach. Many will stay here for just a few nights whilst touring the Peloponnese but it is a site that attracts many long stay visitors for the windsurfing, swimming and the peace and quiet, which in some large sites is hard to find.

Camping Elena's Beach
Greece, Centre, Epirus, Plataria

Elena's Beach Camping is a traditional site, family-run by the owners, Vasilios and his wife, Katerina. The site is near the small fishing village of Plataria and has been running for over 30 years.

Camping Rovies
Greece, Centre, Central Greece, Rovies

On the western coast of Evia, this site provides 150 average size pitches, of which 40 are used by static caravans. Served by a central spine road, they are all directly behind the pebble beach and most, despite the trees, flowering shrubs and screens, have views to the sea. Diving clubs are beginning to use the site as a result of the many diving opportunities that this coast offers and it is also popular with Greek families in high season. For the tourist the site offers the chance to explore North Evia and provides an alternative route between Athens and Thessaloniki via Greece’s second largest island.

Camping Athens
Greece, South, Attica, Peristeri-Athens

Camping Athens is an all-year site, located in the west of the city and convenient for visiting Athens. In fact the Acropolis is only 10 km away, with a bus stop opposite the site entrance (public transport works well, so don’t plan to drive into the city centre yourself). It may be a city campsite but the pitches are of a reasonable size and are generally well shaded by olive, cypress and palm trees, which create the feeling of being in a kind of lush oasis within the city. Be sure to plan your visit programme in advance as the city can be hot during mid afternoon in summer and the traffic may be heavy.

Lacara Camping
Greece, North and East, Central Macedonia, Nikiti

This back to basics campsite has two springs and a stream flowing into a small marsh and 10 km. of forest roads in private woodland, an idyllic location, but with a risk of mosquitos following a period of rain. On the east coast of the Sithonia peninsula, the setting is stunning.

View Details

Camping Milos
Greece, South, Attica, Eretria

The island of Evia could easily be mistaken for part of the mainland, given that it is connected to Attica by two bridges and several ferries. It is, however, the second-largest Greek Island, Crete being that much bigger. Camping Milos is situated on the coast, just over 1.5 km. west of Eretria and provides 100 pitches. Forty touring pitches provide space for caravans and motorhomes under screens of varying heights.

The site’s 100 fairly level pitches all offer electricity connections (10A) and some benefit from the great views. This is a well managed and well equipped site with an attractive pool and a friendly bar featuring an exhibition of paintings by Avyeris Kanatas, a former owner of the site. The prevailing ambience here is geared towards a peaceful, relaxing stay.

Desimi Beach Camping
Greece, Islands, Ionian Islands, Lefkada

Camping Iza
Greece, North and East, Central Macedonia, Tristinika

Sithonia is the middle of three peninsulas on Halkidiki and is a popular Greek tourist destination with a good motorway south from Thessaloniki to Neos Moudania. Camping Iza is one of the larger sites on Sithonia and therefore has more facilities than many smaller sites.

Camping Navarino Beach
Greece, South, Peloponnese, Pylos

Situated directly on the beach in the historic Bay of Navarino, there can be very few sites that occupy the fantastic position that Camping Navarino Beach has. There are around 70 pitches, most facing the beach, with 30 being directly situated alongside. All have electricity (10A) and most have good shade. They are arranged in rows to ensure that all have beach access. The facilities are adequate and cleaned regularly. The staff are friendly and efficient, and there is a very good restaurant with a terrace directly by the beach. The light wind in the morning, which strengthens on some afternoons, makes it a great windsurfing location and boats can be moored by the shore. The site is split into two, with the section across the road used mainly for tents or as the overspill. There is plenty of shade. The beach is sandy and shelves gently making it incredibly safe for children. This site is highly recommended.

Greece

Greece and its islands have a long legacy of art, music and literature. Since the days of Homer, its beauty has been celebrated: the azure of the Aegean Sea, the iridescent morning light and the grand marble temples.

Campsites in Greece are scattered across the country from the north, where keen hikers can climb Mount Olympus, to Crete, where the mythical minotaur lived under the palace at Knossos, which tourists can still visit. Athens is, of course, a popular destination with its ancient acropolis and charismatic atmosphere.

The island's clear waters and white sands make them highly popular with holidaymakers and ideal for watersports enthusiasts. Camping in Greece is a great chance to do a spot of island hopping – it's a leisurely way to fully explore what each place offers while soaking up the sun and sampling the local seafood.

Camping in Greece guarantees a relaxing break with plenty of culture for those who want it. Start your search with Alan Rogers and refine your results by region or theme for specific locations.

Weather in Greece

ATHENS WEATHER

Greece's typical Mediterranean climate lends itself to mild and often wet winters and dry summers. The country is mostly sunny throughout the year. The northern part of the country can be freezing during the winters, even receiving snow in some areas. Winter is milder in the south.

Athens: Greece's capital has a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers and sometimes cold and wet winters. Temperatures average 29°C in August but can exceed 38°C, making it the hottest capital city in Europe.

Santorini: The famous island has a semi-arid climate with warm weather from May through September. It's also extremely dry; you can expect very little rainfall during the summer months. Winters are cool but not freezing - temperatures average around 13°C.

Thessaloniki: This port city has a Mediterranean climate but experiences much greater temperature variations than other parts of the country, with winter temperatures occasionally dropping as low as -9°C and snow falling on the northern plains. The city receives almost 300 days of sunshine per year.

Corfu: This island in the Ionian Sea is still warm and dry during the summer but receives much more precipitation during winter than Santorini and other popular islands. Because of this, Corfu is covered with much more lush vegetation than other parts of Greece. Winters can be cloudy but rarely cold.
