Camping Iria Beach
Greece, South, Peloponnese, Iria/Argolis

Situated close to the beach in a rural spot, Camping Iria Beach is a family site, although more basic than other Greek sites.

Camping Kouyoni
Greece, North and East, Central Macedonia, Gerakini

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 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.

Camping Fournia Beach
Greece, South, Peloponnese, Killinis

The village of Kastros, and the Chlemoutsi castle that towers above it can be seen for miles across the flat landscape towards the coast. Camping Fournia Beach is owned by the four Lefkaditis brothers, and their wives have ensured that this new site is awash with flowering shrubs. The site offers 90 first class pitches and modern facilities, and the bar and restaurant sit in a landscaped area high above the beach with spectacular views across the sea to Zakynthos. Steps to the beach provide private access to the sandy cove below. The castle is being restored and is now used for summer concerts. Nearby are the Kyllini baths dating from Roman times, where the benefits of a mud bath can still be enjoyed.

The small picturesque village, just a few minutes walk away, is at the back of the bay.

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

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.

The site is at the western corner of Finikounda Bay and has direct access to the sandy beach by crossing small natural dunes. The facilities are excellent, and in low season, when there are 18 or fewer campers, each is given the keys to a WC and shower for their personal use. The small picturesque village, three kilometres to the east, is at the back of the bay. Caiques and fishing boats are drawn up all along the sandy shore here, while tavernas serve their fresh catch along the water’s edge.

Camping Dionysus
Greece, Islands, Ionian Islands, Corfu

The Ionian island of Corfu is known by most as a popular tourist destination but perhaps not considered by many for camping. The hourly ferry from Igoumenitsa takes 90 minutes to cross to Kerkyra. Many ferries from Italian ports now stop here en-route to either Igoumenitsa or Patras, so it is possible to break your journey to mainland Greece.

Camping Village, Episkopos
Greece, Islands, Ionian Islands, Lefkada

Camping Ionion Beach
Greece, South, Peloponnese, Vartholomio Ilias

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.
