Camping Fournia Beach
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.
Camping Navarino Beach
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.
Camping Tsolis
Tsoli's Camping is a warm and welcoming family-run resort located on the Gulf of Corinth between Patras and Aegion. The campsite is surrounded by greenery and has direct access to a small pebble beach and a jetty stretching into the sea.
Camping Ionion Beach
This is a very attractive and well-kept site in a beautiful location by the Ionian Sea, created from former farmland by the Fligos family. Much has changed since they welcomed their first guests in 1982 when they still left plenty of space for growing potatoes. Now it is a modern site with a large pool and a paddling pool, and two blocks of apartments to rent. Separated by various trees and oleander bushes, there are 210 pitches of 80-100 sq.m, all with 16A electricity. Those at the front of the site enjoy views over the sea and the island of Zakinthos.
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.
Camping Kalami Beach
Set in a bay, this colourful, attractive, family run site leads down to a beach and the crystal clear waters of the Ionian Sea. Colour comes mainly from the beautiful bougainvillaea plants that clad many of the buildings, and ample shade for the 67 level, terraced pitches, all with 4A electricity, is provided by olive and eucalyptus trees. From the lower pitches there are panoramic views of the island of Corfu from which, at night, lights reflect across the open water. The construction of the site with natural stone paving and a generous display of plants is entirely in keeping with its well-chosen setting. A flight of steps and a small slipway lead down to the beach and the sea, which is perfect for swimming. The site owners can arrange water-skiing with a local company for those interested in more active watersports.
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 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.
Camper Stop
Kalogria Camper Stop is located close to Patras, at the heart of the lush pine forest of Strofilia, a delightful natural park close to a 3 km. long sandy beach. This is a peaceful spot, well equipped to meet the needs of caravaners and motorhomeers. There are 40 pitches here, all with electricity and with either natural or artificial shade. Facilities include a shop for groceries, a café and a gift shop. Off-site activities include cycling, hiking and surfing. Some important ancient sites are within easy reach, notably ancient Olympia, the castle at Chlemoutsi and the Wall of Dymaeans.
Camping Finikes
This site offers 80 level pitches with good shade and great views. It also has 15 apartments to rent. Some pitches have high reed screens that give good protection from the blazing Greek sun, while the turquoise sea is excellent for swimming, windsurfing and sailing and generally cooling off. 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 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.
Camping Erodios
Owner Efthymios Panourgias has given great thought to what is needed and has provided everything to the highest possible standard, in an environmentally friendly way. The owner is constantly on the site ensuring these standards are maintained and usually has plans for further improvements.
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 Alphios
High above ancient and modern Olympia, Camping Alphios enjoys spectacular views, both across the adjoining countryside and to the coast at Pyrgos. It provides 97 pitches, 40 for tourers, all with 16A electricity and many with high reed screens that provide shade. Olympia is a popular tourist destination with dozens of coaches each day bringing tourists from around the world to this small town and the adjacent archaeological sites. However, the area also offers opportunities for walking and cycling in some wonderful scenery and this site provides a good base for excursions to the surrounding northern Peloponnese countryside.
Camping Vrachos Kastraki
The region of Meteora is named after the impressive rock formations which rise out to the plain of Thessaly and which now have ancient monasteries clinging to their summits. Camping Vrachos Kastraki is ideally placed to visit this unusual landscape, as it is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains and huge, natural sculptures.
Camping Kariotes Beach
The island of Lefkada is one of the few Ionian islands that you can access without using a ferry. This campsite is 500 m. from the beach on the main road south (slight traffic noise). There are 75 pitches amongst tall olive trees, but only about 15 places are suitable for caravans or motorhomes.
Camping Anemomilos
Anemomilos is a small, friendly site situated directly on a beautiful sandy beach with turquoise sea, and quayside fish restaurants in the nearby village. Many German campers come here for the windsurfing, sailing and beach life generally. The site offers 115 level pitches with 10A electricity, good shade and great views. The small picturesque village, just a few minutes walk away, is at the back of the bay. Caiques and fishing boats are drawn up all along the sandy shore, while tavernas serve their fresh catch along the water’s edge.
Camping Delphi
Camping Delphi enjoys a stunning location on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, just four kilometres from ancient Delphi. There are some truly outstanding views over valleys of olive groves across to the Gulf of Corinth. 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.
Camping Drepano Igoumenitsa
Sitting just 5km from the port of Igoumenitsa, on a beautiful peninsula surrounded by lush greenery and close to the sandy beach of Drepano, this basic but well-cared-for site caters well for both tent users and caravanners. There are 80 pitches of varying sizes, some with hardstanding, most with electricity, some with shade and almost all with excellent sea views.
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.

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.
