Camping 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 Gythion Bay
Gythion Bay is based in the southeast of Peloponnese, on the 5km long sandy beach of Mavrovouni. The real draw to this site is the immaculate beach, ideal for swimming and watersports. The area is well known for endangered sea turtles, where they choose to lay their eggs. This four-star campsite is perfect for the family to come on their camping holiday as it is a clean, relaxing campsite with a wide choice of facilities and activities for all ages.
Camping Batis
This site is ideally suited, both for those travelling to and from the Turkish border at Ipsala/Kipi and also for those wishing to explore the north of Greece. It provides 125 small pitches with electricity, well shaded by tall trees and offers good low season camping opportunities. It is likely to be very busy with families in the high season using the attached recreation/conference/wedding centre. Istanbul is an easy day’s drive away, even allowing for the border formalities. Visas for entry into Turkey are swiftly obtained (payment in euros, they will not accept Turkish Lira or Sterling).
Camping Areti
If you imagine a typical Greek campsite as being set immediately behind a small sandy beach in a quiet cove with pitches amongst pine and olive trees that stretch a long way back to the small coast road, then you have found your ideal site. Camping Areti is beautifully located just off the beaten track on the peninsula of Sithonia. It has 130 pitches for touring units. The olive groves at the rear provide hidden parking spaces for caravans and boats, and small boats can be launched from the beach. The Charalambidi family maintain their site to very high standards and visitors will not be disappointed.
Camping Kastraki
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 Village, Episkopos
The Island of Lefkada is one of the few Ionian Islands that you can access without using a ferry. It is conveniently connected by a small, floating bridge to the mainland.
Paleokastritsa
Paleokastritsa is a popular holiday resort on Corfu and is definitely one of the most scenic spots on the island. The resort has several beaches and coves, from large sandy beaches to small secluded bays – something for everyone. There is a small harbour/marina 2 km. from the campsite where it is possible to berth your boat. The coastline in the area is ideal for sailing and the sea is excellent for snorkelling and diving with the spectacular underwater rock formations. For those looking for a camping experience under the shade of olive trees, this is the perfect spot. Apart from the basics, and the friendliness of the family who owns it, it has nothing to offer but that is one of its charms.
Chrissa Camping
Chrissa Camping is located on a hill with stunning views across vast olive groves to the Gulf of Corinth and beyond. There are 55 pitches with electric hook-up points available (10A). They are well-shaded and mainly terraced, which means that everyone can enjoy the spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
Camping Karavomilos Beach
Camping Karavomilos Beach is just 1 km from the village of Sami, which has many shops, tavernas, bars, a post office, an ATM, medical facilities, and a pharmacy. The region of Sami, still untouched by the invasion of mass tourism, is a perfect place to have a wonderful holiday, either at one of the charming beaches or enjoying nature, the famous Melissani and Drogarati caves or the traditional villages.
Camping Hellas International
There is a warm welcome from the English-speaking brother and sister team whose family has owned and run Camping Hellas since the sixties. It's in a beautiful setting in a 500-year-old olive grove, right next to the beach and the calm blue waters of the Pagasitikos gulf. There are around 120 pitches, all with 16A electricity. Pitch sizes vary, and some parts are all level, and shade is plentiful thanks to the olive trees.
Camping Triton II
What do we look for in a good campsite in Greece? Given the excellent Greek weather, the answer is probably a good, flat pitch with some shade, excellent toilets and showers that are spotlessly clean, a small shop and proximity to a beach and local tavernas. Well, here you have it all! This is an exceptional and well managed site with 200 touring pitches (50-120 sq.m, 16A electricity) under high screens, just across the road from Drepano beach. Local tavernas are within strolling distance and the town’s shops are about a mile away.
Camping Bekas
Just 60 kilometres south of Corinth you will find the town of Ancient Epidavros, and just south of that is Camping Bekas. With 150 pitches (100 for touring, 6-10A electricity available) set amongst the trees, there is shade and a quiet atmosphere. Arranged along a small sand and shingle beach, the site offers opportunities for swimming, sailing and fishing. The Argolid region of the Peloponnese has much to offer the curious tourist. About 12 km. south is the sanctuary of Asclepios. On a hillside lies the theatre, the most famous and best preserved of all the ancient theatres in Greece. Built in the 4th century BC, the limestone theatre can seat 12,000 spectators. Every summer, in July and August, there are various orchestral and theatrical performances, and attendance at one of these has been described as an almost mystical experience.
Lacara Camping
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.
Desimi Beach Camping
Desimi Beach is a small, family-run campsite on the Island of Lefkada near the town of Nydri. It’s located in a pretty, south-facing bay next to a narrow pebble beach with direct access to the warm waters of the Ionian Sea. Wooded slopes rise up from the azure sea, which gently laps the shoreline. The island of Lefkada is one of the few Ionian islands that is accessible without needing a ferry and is reached by driving from the mainland and then crossing the unique ‘floating’ swing bridge in Lefkada town.
Camping Apollon
Campsite Apollon is located close to ancient Delphi in Central Greece. This campsite has 120 touring pitches which are marked out on terraces and most of which have some shade. The facilities are basic and could be stretched in high season. The pitches with the best views are those furthest away from the facilities. Several seasonal/permanent pitches are occupied year-round. There is a restaurant on site which offers a full menu.
Camping Kouyoni
The busy motorway south of Thessaloniki clearly shows the popularity of Halkidiki and this coastal area. Camping Kouyoni provides a site that is popular with local Greeks, who have had static caravans here for many years, and also has flats that are available to rent. With a total of 86 pitches, only 40 are available for touring units and only a few of these are suitable for motorhomes and larger caravans. There is limited space for car parking and this further restricts access. The pitches are more earth than grass and they could become muddy if it rains.
Camping Diana
Camping Diana is a small site with 42 pitches, 15 of which are under dense tree cover and are only suitable for tents. The remaining pitches are located off a steep concrete road in small open areas and pitch size will be small at best. There are three pitches at the entrance suitable for large motorhomes and caravans over 8 meters. There are 3 other larger pitches on-site for outfits over 8 meters. Each has a 16A electricity supply nearby. Despite being rather dated, it is a pleasant site and located very close to the archaeological site of ancient Olympia with its museums and other attractions.
Camping Kalogria
Camping Kalogria is run by 3 generations of the friendly Kazantzakis family. It is a large site surrounded by olive and eucalyptus trees offering plenty of shade, mostly flat pitches, with modernised hookup points supplying 16Amp electricity.
Coralli Camping Bungalows
Coralli is an attractive holiday complex located on the island of Serifos, one of the western Cyclades. The island is famous for its 72 sandy beaches, and one of the most popular of these, Livadakia, is adjacent to the site. Pitches have welcome shade and the sanitary facilities are modern and well maintained. Leisure amenities include a swimming pool and a lounge bar in addition to a good restaurant. A car hire service is available. The complex also comprises a number of self-catering bungalows and holiday apartments and a well stocked shop.
Camping Poseidon Beach
Mount Olympus towers are an iconic backdrop to this region, and its slopes run down to the shores of the Aegean, where Camping Poseidon Beach is to be found. This rural area is just off the E75 motorway, which follows the coast from Thessalonica to Athens. The area is known for its sandy beaches, and this campsite enjoys direct access to the sea with windsurfing, snorkelling and waterskiing all available. Head inland to Mount Olympus National Park and take to the hiking and biking trails to explore the rugged majesty of these wooded slopes.

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.
