Greece has a surprising number of reasonably priced places to camp next to fantastic beaches or in quiet, shaded woodlands, regardless of whether you enjoy camping and feel comfortable traveling with your own tent and sleeping bag, or prefer to have someone else pitch your tent for you.
Simos Camping , Elafonisos
Smart campers are drawn to Simos, which is only 50 meters (164 feet) from the sea, the Elafonisos beach’s brilliant white beaches and shallow blue waters. You can BYOT (bring your own tent) or rent one of theirs at the beach camping spots, which are shaded. Homemade Greek classics are served at the restaurant, and the bar, which opens at 10 p.m.
Nisi, Fthiotida
At this family-friendly campsite in Greece, you may either bring your own tent or hire one of Nisi’s domes, treehouses, or cottages as your home base. For entertainment, there are playgrounds, climbing walls, minigolf, and volleyball courts on-site. The staff also suggests hiking and bike routes, as well as a local wine-tasting excursion, for those who want a slightly less active vacation. Take advantage of the many vegetarian and vegan alternatives at the on-site restaurant, which is located under the trees.
Camping Elizabeth, Crete
Choose to rent a caravan, tent, or safari-style glamping pitch directly on the sand at this unassuming, laid-back location on the expansive Rethymno’s beach in northern Crete, or just bring your own. You can reach the reasonably priced coastal taverna, which serves freshly prepared Greek specialties and holds weekly BBQ nights. Extra points go to the sea turtles because they nest at this Greek beach camping area, ensuring its peaceful undevelopedness.
Camping Pitsoni, Halkidiki
This pet-friendly campsite in Greece is popular with families looking for a warm welcome and convenient beach access. It is situated at the point of the Sithonia peninsula, with shaded spaces for tents and caravans distributed amid palms and pines. Only 20 meters (66 feet) separate you from Sykia beach’s wide expanse of sand and its shallow, clear waves, which are ideal for kids to swim. Although there isn’t a restaurant on-site, the minimarket is well-stocked with food, beverages, and beach equipment.
Poros Beach, Lefkada
Since 1974, campers have been setting up tents and caravans beneath the olive trees, and for good reason: the area is noted for its well-kept amenities and is only 60 meters (200 feet) from the gorgeous Mikros Gialos beach. If you become tired of sleeping outside, there are studios and family rooms available. Menta, a welcoming hilltop restaurant, serves delicious Greek food and has an outdoor patio with views of the bay.
Club Agia Anna, Evia
For thirty years, Club Agia Anna has welcomed families. At this Greek campground, it’s all about the activities, including sack races for adults and children as well as swimming pools, basketball and beach volleyball courts, table tennis, playgrounds, and movie screens. Each and every child and adult will have plenty to do.
Surf Club Keros, Limnos
This place is an excellent chance to learn the fundamentals of surfing or push your limits when the Meltemi winds are blowing. Keros’ sandy bay is a fantastic summer playground for activities like kitesurfing, windsurfing, and conventional wave surfing. Stay in one of the safari-style tents provided by the surf club, have some food at the Hungry Local beach bar, and spend the evening with your new surf pals at the Tiki Bar.
