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 Areti
Greece, North and East, Central Macedonia, Neos Marmaras

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 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 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.

Greece, South, Peloponnese, Olympia

Camping Diana is a small site with 42 pitches, 15 of which are under dense tree cover and are only suitable for tents.

Lerissos offers all the usual useful shops, restaurants, amenities, and a long sandy beach.

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.

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.

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.

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.
