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 Navarino Beach
Greece, South, Peloponnese, Pylos

Situated directly on the beach in the historic Bay of Navarino, there can be very few sites that occupy the fantastic position that Camping Navarino Beach has. There are around 70 pitches, most facing the beach, with 30 being directly situated alongside. All have electricity (10A) and most have good shade. They are arranged in rows to ensure that all have beach access. The facilities are adequate and cleaned regularly. The staff are friendly and efficient, and there is a very good restaurant with a terrace directly by the beach. The light wind in the morning, which strengthens on some afternoons, makes it a great windsurfing location and boats can be moored by the shore. The site is split into two, with the section across the road used mainly for tents or as the overspill. There is plenty of shade. The beach is sandy and shelves gently making it incredibly safe for children. This site is highly recommended.

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.

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.

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.
