Greece, land of history and natural beauty, offers an ideal setting for a motorhome getaway. Whether you want to discover the paradisiacal islands or explore the remnants of Antiquity, renting a motorhome in Greece will allow you to traverse the country at your own pace. Athens, the capital, is full of archaeological treasures such as the Acropolis and the ancient Agora, witnesses to the splendor of classical Greece. Elsewhere, the breathtaking landscapes of mainland Greece and the islands, like Santorini with its white and blue villages, will leave you with unforgettable memories.
Exploring Greece by motorhome offers a unique freedom to discover its varied landscapes, ancient sites, and idyllic beaches. Whether you have a week or three weeks, here are three emblematic itineraries adapted to your travel duration, combining culture, nature, and relaxation on the road.
Itinerary of 7 to 10 days: The Peloponnese and its ancient treasures
Start your journey in Athens to visit the Acropolis and its surroundings, before heading to the Peloponnese. Explore Olympia, the birthplace of the ancient Games, then head to Epidaurus with its remarkably preserved ancient theater. Continue to Nafplio, a charming coastal town, and finish at the Corinth Canal, an impressive structure connecting the Aegean Sea to the Ionian Sea. This compact circuit allows you to combine history, marine landscapes, and typical villages, while enjoying well-equipped motorhome areas in the region.
Itinerary of 14 days: Central Greece, Meteora, and the Ionian Islands
After a stop in Athens, head to Delphi, a major archaeological site perched on Mount Parnassus. Continue to Kalambaka to admire the suspended monasteries of Meteora, a unique natural and spiritual spectacle. Then, cross westward to reach the island of Cephalonia, famous for its paradisiacal beaches like Myrtos. This route combines culture, nature, and island relaxation, with stops suitable for motorhomes and well-organized ferry crossings, for a perfect balance between land and sea.
Itinerary of 21 days: Grand crossing of mainland Greece and major islands
This comprehensive journey begins in Athens, then extends northwest through Zagoria and its traditional villages, before reaching Meteora for several days of exploration. Continue to the Ionian coast with a stop on the island of Cephalonia, then head down to the Peloponnese to visit Mystras, Olympia, and the southern beaches. Finish your journey with a few days on the Aegean Sea islands, accessible by ferry, for a harmonious blend of heritage, wild nature, and relaxation. This itinerary offers a deep and varied immersion, ideal for motorhome travelers wishing to discover the richness of Greece in complete freedom.

Traveling by motorhome in Greece: when to leave for the ideal adventure
Greece offers a privileged Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, making it an exceptional destination for vanlife all year round. Between its mythical islands and archaeological sites, Greece combines favorable weather conditions and remarkable seasonal flexibility for motorhome travelers.
Spring and autumn: the ideal periods
Spring, from April to mid-June, and autumn, from September to October, are the best times to explore Greece by motorhome. During these seasons, temperatures range between 20 and 25°C, providing perfect conditions to visit Athens and its archaeological sites without suffering from extreme heat. The sea reaches a pleasant temperature of 25°C in September, ideal for swimming near the Ionian or Cycladic islands, while the spectacular spring bloom transforms the Greek landscapes.
These periods also have the advantage of much less tourist traffic than in summer. The tourist attractions of Santorini, Mykonos, and Corfu remain accessible without the massive crowds of July and August, allowing for a more serene exploration of the cities and fine white sandy beaches.
Summer: intense heat and tourist activity
The months of July and August see temperatures exceeding 30°C, easily reaching 35 to 40°C, particularly in the south and in Athens. On the islands of the Aegean Sea like Andros and Tinos, the meltemi blows with impressive force, making swimming dangerous. For motorhome travelers, this period requires suitable equipment: air conditioning, fans, and enhanced insulation to prevent the vehicle from becoming a sauna.
However, summer remains appealing for beach lovers and lively atmospheres. The crystal-clear waters around Corfu and the coasts of the Peloponnese offer excellent swimming conditions, and the sea breeze refreshes the atmosphere on the coasts and islands.
April and October: the perfect months according to travelers
According to the experience of van travelers, April and October represent the ideal months to discover Greece. In April, temperatures hover around 15 to 18°C, allowing for comfortable hiking and visiting archaeological sites without excessive fatigue. In October, with temperatures around 19 to 21°C, you can still enjoy the last swims of the year and explore culturally rich cities like Athens.
Rates and seasonality: the right compromise
May-June and October offer the best compromise between pleasant weather and more advantageous rates. These periods, considered mid-season, allow for reduced prices compared to the high summer season while enjoying optimal weather conditions. The popular campsites and nature spots in Greece remain accessible without the extra costs of July and August.
Winter, although less popular, offers advantages for hikers: plenty of sunshine without the intense heat, and significantly reduced rates. However, precipitation increases in December, January, and February, particularly on the west coast and the Ionian islands.

Practical tips for traveling by motorhome or van in Greece
Greece, with its varied landscapes and historical sites like Athens, Delphi, or the Halkidiki coast, remains a popular destination for motorhome or van travelers, provided that strict regulations in force are respected.
Driving and regulations
Since 2025, Greek law prohibits parking motorhomes on beaches, in forests, near archaeological sites such as Mycenae or Olympia, and in public spaces in general. Motorhomes under 7.5 meters can park without time limits in urban areas, while longer vehicles and caravans are limited to 24 hours. Outside cities, parking is only allowed in designated spots or on the right side of the road, unless local prohibitions apply. Violations are punishable by fines starting at 300 euros, which can reach up to 3,000 euros or result in imprisonment in case of repeat offenses.
Sleeping and connecting
Wild camping is strictly prohibited in Greece, especially on the beaches of Mykonos or Paros, and in natural areas like the Parnassos National Park. For overnight stays, prefer official campsites such as those in Nafplio or Thessaloniki, or areas designated by municipalities. Some private individuals may host a single motorhome on their property, but beyond that, municipal permission is required. Outdoor equipment like awnings or tables is prohibited outside authorized areas.
Local tips & safety
In Greece, it is essential to respect parking rules to avoid fines and inspections, particularly visible in Athens, on the islands, or near tourist sites. Prefer residential areas for short stops, and inquire at local tourist offices like those in Corfu or Rhodes to know specific areas. Road safety is enhanced, especially on the winding roads of the Peloponnese or in mountainous areas, where vigilance is crucial.
Frequently Asked Questions in Greece
What documents are required to rent a motorhome in Greece?
To rent a motorhome in Greece, you need a valid identity card or passport, as well as a national driving license, with the European B license generally being sufficient. Some agencies may require a minimum age and at least one year of driving experience. It is advisable to check the specific conditions with the rental company before booking.
Is wild camping allowed in a motorhome in Greece?
Wild camping is strictly prohibited in Greece, especially during the high tourist season. Authorities impose fines for camping outside authorized areas, particularly in forests, beaches, and archaeological sites. It is therefore recommended to prefer official campsites or designated parking areas for motorhomes.
Where can you legally park a motorhome in Greece?
Legal parking for motorhomes is mainly done in approved campsites, dedicated municipal areas with a limit of 48 to 72 hours, or with the homeowner's agreement. It is prohibited to park on priority roads, near pedestrian crossings, intersections, bus stops, traffic lights, as well as in protected natural areas.
What are the best campsites for motorhomes in Greece?
Among the recommended campsites, there is Camping Athens – Nea Kifissia near Athens, ideal for visiting the capital with bus and metro access. Along the coast and on the islands, many campsites offer pitches with sea views. Campsites around Meteora or in Igoumenitsa are also very popular for their natural setting and services adapted to motorhomes.
Is it possible to rent a motorhome directly at the airport in Greece?
Yes, several agencies offer motorhome rentals at Athens or Thessaloniki airports, making it easy to pick up upon arrival. These vehicles are modern and well-equipped, perfect for exploring mainland Greece and its islands. Advance booking is highly recommended, especially in high season. Book directly online with the form located at the top of this page!
What are the specific traffic rules for motorhomes in Greece?
Motorhomes must comply with local speed limits, stay right on the roads, and follow the standard Greek traffic rules. It is important to note that some mountainous routes may be winding and narrow, requiring careful driving. Parking is regulated just like for any vehicle, with prohibitions in sensitive areas.
Can you travel by motorhome on the Greek islands?
It is possible to travel by motorhome on certain islands, but this can be complicated due to limited infrastructure and local restrictions. Islands like Santorini or Paros are less suitable for motorhomes, and it is often preferable to rent a smaller vehicle or focus on the mainland for a motorhome road trip.
Are there specific services for motorhomes near Athens airport?
Yes, a camperstop located near Athens airport offers secure parking with all necessary amenities: water, waste disposal, electricity, showers, Wi-Fi, and shuttle service to the city center. This place is accessible 24/7, ideal for a stop before starting your journey or at the end of it.

Great experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it 100%. Reliable, attentive, available, responsive. Thanks to Marléne for her support.
Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!
No unpleasant surprises
Cooldrive recommended that I take out insurance, which turned out to be unable to handle an issue that arose during the stay.

great experience! The CoolDrive agents are very helpful with all the procedures
Incorrect information about the rental dates resulting in a charge for an additional day despite my inquiries to Cool Drive right after my booking. Refusal to modify my reservation because it did not lead to a change in price. Incorrect information confirmed by the rental company that was expecting a response the next day...
The whole booking, communication, and actual rental experience has been smooth, effective, and enjoyable. Not sure how that could have been any better, at least in our experience, other than perhaps a final communication just before the start of the rental (but really, we had all info and details already). Collection and return of the motorhome was smooth and friendly staff (from iCaravan). All in...
Very good from the quote to the rental, I recommend!
