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 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 Triton II
Greece, South, Peloponnese, Nafplio

What do we look for in a good campsite in Greece?

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.

Camping Ionion Beach
Greece, South, Peloponnese, Vartholomio Ilias

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 Finikes
Greece, South, Peloponnese, Finikounda

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 Kalami Beach
Greece, Centre, Epirus, Igoumenitsa

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.

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.

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

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.
