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 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 Dionysus
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Pefki
Evia, the second largest Greek Island, offers dramatic scenery and the north end of the island provides an opportunity to get away from the crowds of Attica. It also offers an alternative route between Athens and Thessaloniki and avoids the boring motorway route towards Lamia.
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 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 Ouzouni Beach
Camping Ouzouni Beach is a family-run site proudly owned by Dimitris Ouzounis, and you can expect a warm and friendly greeting when you arrive. This is a simple site with 93 touring pitches available, which are grassy and individually divided by hedges and shrubs; large trees or canopies shade them, and each pitch ranges from 65 sq.m. up to 80 sq.m. The campsite has a small shop where you can get your essentials and some traditional Greek dishes and pizza made by Andrea, one of the family members.
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 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 Kato Alissos
Kato Alissos can be found 21 km. west of Patras, the capital of the Peloponnese and has direct access to a long beach. This is an attractive but basic site with lemon, orange and olive trees providing a pleasant camping environment. At the heart of the site, the bar/restaurant specialises in traditional Greek cuisine and has welcome shade from a giant olive tree, said to be over 1,000 years old.
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.
