Camping Diana
Camping Diana is a small site with 42 pitches, 15 of which are under dense tree cover and are only suitable for tents. The remaining pitches are located off a steep concrete road in small open areas and pitch size will be small at best. There are three pitches at the entrance suitable for large motorhomes and caravans over 8 meters. There are 3 other larger pitches on-site for outfits over 8 meters. Each has a 16A electricity supply nearby. Despite being rather dated, it is a pleasant site and located very close to the archaeological site of ancient Olympia with its museums and other attractions.
Camping Valtos
Valtos Camping lies two kilometres west of the picturesque village of Parga and just 60 m. from the beautiful sandy beach at Valtos. This is a small, friendly site with a shop, bar and restaurant. The 100 touring pitches here are of various sizes, all with electricity connections (16A). There is little grass but good shade is supplied by mulberry, lemon and olive trees.
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 Gythion Bay
Gythion Bay is based in the southeast of Peloponnese, on the 5km long sandy beach of Mavrovouni. The real draw to this site is the immaculate beach, ideal for swimming and watersports. The area is well known for endangered sea turtles, where they choose to lay their eggs. This four-star campsite is perfect for the family to come on their camping holiday as it is a clean, relaxing campsite with a wide choice of facilities and activities for all ages.
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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 Bekas
Just 60 kilometres south of Corinth you will find the town of Ancient Epidavros, and just south of that is Camping Bekas. With 150 pitches (100 for touring, 6-10A electricity available) set amongst the trees, there is shade and a quiet atmosphere. Arranged along a small sand and shingle beach, the site offers opportunities for swimming, sailing and fishing. The Argolid region of the Peloponnese has much to offer the curious tourist. About 12 km. south is the sanctuary of Asclepios. On a hillside lies the theatre, the most famous and best preserved of all the ancient theatres in Greece. Built in the 4th century BC, the limestone theatre can seat 12,000 spectators. Every summer, in July and August, there are various orchestral and theatrical performances, and attendance at one of these has been described as an almost mystical experience.
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 Karda Beach
The popular holiday island of Corfu offers many sporting and leisure activities and access to it is easy, and comparatively cheap, via one of the many ferries from either Igoumenitsa or one of the Italian ports serving the Greek mainland. Camping Karda Beach offers a quiet low season site with excellent facilities, close to the beach and the island’s main town, Kerkyra. It also offers a popular high season site for families and those looking for good weather, good beaches and lots of activities close at hand. It has 101 good grassy pitches of which 95 are for touring units, all with electricity (16A Europlug), under tall trees.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Apollon
Campsite Apollon is located close to ancient Delphi in Central Greece. This campsite has 120 touring pitches which are marked out on terraces and most of which have some shade. The facilities are basic and could be stretched in high season. The pitches with the best views are those furthest away from the facilities. Several seasonal/permanent pitches are occupied year-round. There is a restaurant on site which offers a full menu.

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.
