Anywhere Campers IgoumenitsaIgoumenitsaView map
Hiring a campervan in Igoumenitsa means starting your trip where the ferries from Italy and Corfu dock, in the main port of Epirus, in north-western Greece. On one side lies the Ionian coast, with the coves of Syvota, Parga and the mouth of the Acheron; on the other rise the Pindus mountains, the lake of Ioannina, the Vikos Gorge and the stone villages of Zagori. For your campervan hire in Igoumenitsa, our partner Anywhere Campers offers nine models here, from the Van for 2 to the Sunlight A70.
The depot is in Igoumenitsa itself, a small town facing its port: you can step off the boat in the morning and spend the night by the Ionian Sea or at the foot of the Pindus.

The Egnatia motorway takes you to Ioannina, its Lake Pamvotis and its Ottoman citadel. To the north, the Vikos-Aoos National Park opens at Monodendri, on the edge of one of the deepest canyons in Europe, then leads to the arched stone bridges of Kipi, the two Papingo villages and the natural pools of the Voidomatis. Konitsa and Metsovo, a mountain town with stone-slab roofs, complete the loop. Tight hairpins in Zagori: choose a compact vehicle.

South of the port, the islets and green waters of Syvota can be discovered on the very first evening. Parga, with its colourful houses below a Venetian castle and its Valtos beach, comes next. Ammoudia marks the mouth of the Acheron, the river of the Underworld in Greek mythology, whose oracle of the dead, the Necromanteion, can be visited nearby; at Glyki, you walk up the icy gorges of its springs. A short loop, ideal for getting used to the vehicle.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Igoumenitsa?
Best time
April to June and September
April to June, September
highs 19 to 29 °C, lows 10 to 19 °C
The best time to leave from Igoumenitsa: in spring, the Zagori streams are swollen by snowmelt and hikes in the Vikos stay cool, while the sea rises from 17 °C in April to 24 °C in June. In September, the water is still 26 °C at Syvota and Parga, and the campsites are quiet again.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 32 °C, lows 22 °C
High summer on the Epirus coast: almost no rain in July, a sea at 27 °C in August and ferries packed with holidaymakers from Italy and the Balkans. The beaches of Parga and Syvota are very busy: book your campsites and head up to Metsovo or the Papingo villages, where nights stay cool.
March and October
March, October
highs 16 to 23 °C, lows 8 to 14 °C
Two transition months, mild but already wet: October keeps a sea at 23 °C and pleasant days, but showers return, and in March the Pindus peaks are still snow-capped. A good time for Ioannina and the coast, with campsites opening or closing depending on the year.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 13 to 18 °C, lows 5 to 11 °C
Epirus is the rainiest region of Greece, and November is by far its wettest month. The coast stays mild, but snow sometimes closes the roads of Zagori and Metsovo: winter equipment is essential at altitude. Most coastal campsites are closed at this time of year.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Pick-up at Anywhere Campers
Anywhere Campers is the only partner company in Igoumenitsa; the exact place where you collect the vehicle is given in your confirmation. If you arrive by ferry from Italy or Corfu, tell the company your ferry line and docking time: overnight crossings often arrive early in the morning.
Egnatia Odos and Ionia Odos
The Egnatia Odos starts at the port of Igoumenitsa and runs towards Ioannina, Metsovo and Macedonia. At Ioannina, the Ionia Odos heads south towards Arta and the Gulf of Corinth. Both motorways are tolled, payable in cash or by card according to the vehicle category; towards Preveza, the tunnel under the Ambracian Gulf is also tolled.
Stock up before the mountains
Supermarkets and petrol stations are found in Igoumenitsa and Ioannina; in Zagori, villages often have just a taverna and a small grocery, and waste disposal points are rare. Fill up with water, fuel and food before leaving the Egnatia for Monodendri or the Papingo villages.
Nights at coastal campsites
Greek law bans spending the night in a motorhome outside authorised sites, including on the beaches of Syvota or in the car parks of Parga. The coast between Igoumenitsa and Parga does have several seaside campsites, at Plataria, Syvota or near Parga, generally open from April to October.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Igoumenitsa
Where can I pick up a campervan in Igoumenitsa?
Our partner Anywhere Campers hands over its vehicles in Igoumenitsa itself, at the address given in the booking confirmation. The port, the bus station and the centre are close to one another; just let the company know your arrival time, whether you come by ferry, by bus from Ioannina or by taxi from Corfu airport.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Igoumenitsa?
The price varies with the season, the length of hire and the size of the vehicle, from a van for two to a family low-profile motorhome; summer, when the ferries from Italy bring the most travellers, remains the busiest period. Run a search with your dates to get real prices, mandatory fees included and bookable straight away.
Can I arrive by ferry from Italy and hire on the spot?
Yes, that is the whole point of Igoumenitsa: ferries link it to Bari, Brindisi, Ancona or Venice, depending on the operator and the season. Crossing as a foot passenger costs far less than taking a vehicle on board, and saves you thousands of kilometres of driving to Greece. You then collect the campervan at the port, ready for Epirus.
Can I return the vehicle in Athens or Thessaloniki?
Athens and Thessaloniki are other departure cities of our partners: a one-way trip lets you cross the country without retracing your steps, via Delphi to the south or via Metsovo and Meteora to the east. Any one-way fee is included in the displayed price as soon as you choose the return city when searching.
Can I take the hired campervan to Corfu?
Corfu is less than two hours away by boat, with very frequent sailings to Corfu Town and to Lefkimmi, in the south of the island. Taking a hire vehicle on board, however, requires the company's approval, and sometimes suitable insurance: check the offer conditions before buying the ticket, especially in August.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Igoumenitsa
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Greece?
Campervans, converted vans and motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes can be driven with a category B licence. A licence issued in the European Union is valid as it is; with a licence from another country, bring an international driving permit, which the company may ask for when handing over the keys. Minimum age and years of driving are listed in each offer's conditions.
Which vehicle should I choose for Epirus?
For Zagori and its winding roads, the Van for 2 is the easiest to handle. The Carado T-447 takes four people, the Adria Matrix and the Sunlight T 68 five, the Sunlight A70 six: sizes more at ease on the Egnatia and the Parga coast than in the lanes of Papingo. Several models come with a manual or automatic gearbox.
How do I get to Igoumenitsa by plane?
Igoumenitsa has no airport. The nearest is Corfu, linked to the port by a ferry of about an hour and a half. Ioannina airport, about an hour's drive away on the Egnatia, and Aktion airport, near Preveza, are other options. Buses also connect Igoumenitsa with Ioannina, Athens and Thessaloniki.
Can I cross into Albania from Igoumenitsa?
The Albanian border is less than an hour to the north, towards Konispol, Butrint and Saranda. Albania is not part of the European Union: you need the company's written approval and insurance valid in the country, often refused for a hire vehicle. Check the permitted countries in the offer conditions before planning the crossing.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in Zagori?
Campsites are rare in the mountains of Epirus: there are a few around Ioannina, on the lakeshore, and near Konitsa or Metsovo. In the Zagori villages, car parks are cramped and overnight parking outside authorised sites is banned. Plan your stops in advance and drive back down to Ioannina for the night if needed.
When should I book a campervan in Igoumenitsa?
With a single company on site, the number of vehicles is limited: for July and August, book several months ahead, especially as mid-August brings many holidaymakers off the ferries. Orthodox Easter, in spring, is also in high demand in Greece. The rest of the year, a few weeks are usually enough.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Igoumenitsa
Igoumenitsa is the western gateway to Greece: for travellers arriving from Italy, it is the first Greek port, and the town opens straight onto Epirus, one of the most unspoilt regions in the country. In a single day, you go from the turquoise waters of Syvota to the Vikos Gorge, from the Venetian houses of Parga to the stone villages of Zagori, without ever driving for long. Ioannina, a lakeside city with a rich Ottoman past, makes an ideal stop between sea and mountains.
Anywhere Campers, our partner, offers nine models here, from a van for two to a low-profile motorhome sleeping six. Athens and Thessaloniki, other departure cities of our partners, make one-way trips across the country possible, towards Delphi or Meteora. And from April to August, the climate of the Ionian coast is perfect for travelling, before the autumn rains.
