Camping Bacchus
Camping Bacchus is a small but welcoming site in a remote area. Just a handful of its 55 pitches are available for tourers with the rest taken up by mobile homes and caravans to rent. The site is on partly sloping ground with shade provided by pine trees. It is 100 m. from a sandy beach, where there are great views out over the Aegean Sea and its islands.
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.
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 Delphini
Just 27 km south of the birthplace of Aristotle is the small town of Lerissos, on the peninsula of Agio Oros, famous for Mount Athos and several Byzantine monasteries. Mount Athos has been revered as a mystical and religious centre since 800 AD, prompting the creation of the places of worship. Simonos Petras monastery, founded in the 13th century, is notable for its clifftop setting with dramatic sea views and a famed chanting choir. Lerissos offers all the usual useful shops, restaurants, amenities, and a long sandy beach.
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 Sikia
Camping Sikia is an attractive, well maintained site enthusiastically run by the Pandeli family. The site offers 120 pitches of varying sizes all with 16A electricity. They are arranged on terraces and may become quite dusty during the dry season, but most are well shaded by olive trees. There are superb views from many pitches – the sea to the south and the mountains to the north. Rental accommodation is also available. The calm sea and golden beaches of the Pagasitikos Gulf make this a perfect spot for family holidays. The site is just 100 m. from a sand and shingle beach on the edge of a rocky bay.
Camping Venezuela
Camping Venezuela is a comfortable and well-maintained campsite in Maliakos Bay, right on the beach of Agios Seraphim and at the foot of Mount Knimis. Athens is a few hours away and makes a memorable day trip, as is Delphi. This region is known for its beaches, bird-watching spots, mountain scenery and thermal springs.
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 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 Iria Beach
Situated close to the beach in a rural spot, Camping Iria Beach is a family site, although more basic than other Greek sites. However, the site offers a good selection of facilities, including a Greek taverna, a bar serving Greek cuisine, and an outdoor swimming pool, giving the site a relaxed atmosphere.
Camping Poros Beach
The Poros Beach Camping and Bungalows is a resort located in the southern part of the island of Lefkada. It is built on the side of a hill and is 60-150m away from the beach. The site is at the end of a steep, winding, narrow lane (3 km long with ten hairpin bends). The owners have made a massive investment in building apartments to rent at the top of the site. Here, you will find the on-site facilities, which include the reception and a small shop where bread and croissants are delivered daily.
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.
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 Iza
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. Behind a good sandy beach and amongst mainly olive and willow trees, the 215 pitches are clearly marked, and some have high screens to offer some shade. Only the two front rows have sea views.
Camping Melissa
Campsite Melissa is located on the beach in Kástro, West Greece, situated by the sea. The 100 campsite pitches are marked out and are on sloping ground and have a mixture of full, partial or no shade.
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.
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 Enjoy-Lichnos
This is a quiet campsite with attractive views of the Ionian Sea and the coastlines towards Preveza and Parga. The site has been created on a steep incline with extensive terraces and pitches under constructed shade, all with 16A electricity. The ground levels out in front of the beach and pitches here have sea views. There are 150 touring pitches and a large area for tents under the shade of the 500-year-old olive trees. The sandy beach is the site’s main attraction, and various water-based activities are available. The nearby resort of Parga is a lively place of narrow streets and a wealth of tavernas. It can be reached using one of the many water taxis which frequent the area throughout the day.
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 Elena's Beach
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. As its name suggests, the campsite has its own beach overlooking the Ionian Sea. The campsite provides 42 touring pitches with an on-site taverna run by Katerina, offering authentic Greek food and homemade dishes for you to try. This has become the favourite spot to chill out during the summer for many locals and tourists alike.

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.
