Rolling Turtles c/o Fly & Camp SA25is Martiou, 190 03 Thesi Gkovatsi, Markopoulo
The rental company
Rolling Turtles, from mainland Greece to Crete
A van and motorhome rental company based in Greece, Rolling Turtles covers the country from four cities. For Athens, the vehicle is collected in Markopoulo, in the Mesogeia, at a partner, Fly & Camp, a few kilometres from the international airport. The north is reached via Thermi, east of Thessaloniki. Crete has two addresses: on the outskirts of Chania in the west and on Papanastasiou Avenue in Heraklion.
Fourteen models are listed, making for a varied range. Families will find Sunlight A60 to A72 overcabs, a Kronos 271 and a Laika Ecovip 9, sleeping up to six. Couples can look at the Westfalia vans and the VW T6 with a pop-up roof, or the Carado low-profiles. For dirt tracks, two vehicles stand out: the Isuzu D-Max 4x4 with a roof tent and an equipped 4x4 pick-up.
No Rolling Turtles offers were observed by CoolDrive in October 2026: prices, included kilometres and excess are to be read in your search results.
Our verdict: a rare choice of vehicles, from the 4x4 to the large overcab, and a presence in Crete as well as on the mainland, with a team known for its friendly welcome. Things to watch: manual gearboxes dominate, the security deposit and mileage may be tightly controlled depending on the offer, and summer needs booking well in advance.

Our view
Rolling Turtles: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Rolling Turtles is ideal if…
- You want to leave the tarmac behind with a 4x4 and a roof tent
- There are six of you and you want a proper bed for each person
- You are landing in Athens and heading for the Peloponnese or Delphi
- You dream of Meteora, Mount Olympus or Halkidiki, setting off from Thessaloniki
- You want to tour Crete without taking the ferry
Rolling Turtles is not ideal if…
- You only drive automatics: only two models are fitted with one
- You plan to hop between islands by ferry without having read the terms
- You want to sleep wherever you like, away from campsites
- You are waiting until June to book an August departure
- You are planning a route through Albania or North Macedonia without the rental company’s agreement
Practical tips
Our tips for booking with Rolling Turtles
-
Choose the depot according to the region you are aiming for
Markopoulo is ideal for Attica, Cape Sounion and the Peloponnese, with the ports of Rafina and Lavrio close by. Thermi opens up the north: Halkidiki, Meteora, Mount Olympus. In Crete, Chania serves the west and its gorges, Heraklion the centre and east, from Knossos to the Lasithi Plateau.
-
A 4x4 does not mean anything goes
The Isuzu D-Max and the equipped pick-up open up Crete’s mountain roads or the mainland’s remote beaches. Permitted tracks, fording and off-tarmac insurance are, however, governed by the terms of the offer. Read them before heading for Balos or a stony pass.
-
Ferries: ask before booking the crossing
Taking a hire vehicle to the Cyclades or between Piraeus and Crete requires the rental company’s agreement, and the insurance may not cover the crossing. Ask the question before booking the boat. The ticket price depends mainly on the vehicle’s length.
-
Sleep at campsites
Wild camping is in principle prohibited in Greece, even if it is sometimes tolerated out of season. Campsites are plentiful along the coasts, often shaded and close to the beach. In July and August, call the day before to secure a pitch, especially in Halkidiki and Crete.
-
Inspect the vehicle under the Greek sun
Before leaving, test the cab air conditioning, the fridge and the water supply, all essential in summer. Photograph the bodywork all round, check the kitchen inventory and, for a 4x4, how the roof tent is mounted. Save the rental company’s assistance number in your phone.
What travellers ask
Your questions about Rolling Turtles
How much does a Rolling Turtles hire cost in Greece?
Our October 2026 surveys contain no Rolling Turtles offers in Greece, so it is impossible to suggest a reliable price. The rate varies greatly between a van for two, a six-seater overcab and a 4x4, as well as between April and August. Run a search with your city and dates: the available offers are displayed including compulsory fees.
Where are the Rolling Turtles depots in Greece?
Four addresses: Markopoulo, in Attica, for Athens, at partner Fly & Camp near the airport; Thermi, east of Thessaloniki; the southern outskirts of Chania, on the Mournies road; and finally Heraklion, at 165 Papanastasiou Avenue. The key handover time appears in your confirmation.
Which Rolling Turtles vehicle should you choose?
For two, a Westfalia van or the VW T6 with a pop-up roof slips through villages and along narrow coastal roads. For families, the Sunlight A68, A70, A72 overcabs or the Kronos 271 offer six berths. For dirt tracks, the Isuzu D-Max 4x4 with a roof tent sleeps four.
Does Rolling Turtles offer automatic vehicles?
Yes, but few: among the models whose gearbox is specified, only the Westfalia 540D van and the 4x4 Pickup Camper are automatic. All the others have a manual gearbox, and the information is missing for the Isuzu D-Max and the Laika Ecovip 9. If you only drive automatics, filter on this criterion from the start of your search.
Can you pick up the motorhome in Chania and return it in Heraklion?
The idea is appealing: about 140 km separate the two cities along Crete’s northern road. There is no guarantee, however, that a one-way hire will be accepted. Enter Heraklion as the return city in the search: only compatible offers will appear, with any fees. Otherwise, finish your tour of the island back at the starting point.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Rolling Turtles motorhome hire in Greece
Why book Rolling Turtles with CoolDrive?
In Greece, we display Rolling Turtles in the same list as Luna Campers, Anywhere Campers or Rent Easy: a Cretan 4x4 and an Athenian overcab can then be compared in a few seconds. The amount shown already includes compulsory fees. Our experts help you decide between the mainland and Crete, then remain available until the end of the trip.
Is mileage unlimited with Rolling Turtles?
We have no observed Rolling Turtles offers for October 2026. Depending on the rental company and the vehicle, kilometres may be capped: each offer states the included allowance and the price beyond it. A route taking in Athens, the Peloponnese, Delphi and back easily exceeds 1,200 km, so do the maths before confirming.
What security deposit should you expect at Rolling Turtles?
The amount of the security deposit and that of the excess are specified in the details of each offer, along with any excess waiver packages. The deposit rules are set out in the offer: read them in full, check your credit card limit and ask our experts if a clause seems unclear.
How do you get to the Athens depot?
It is in Markopoulo, on the Mesogeia plain, a few kilometres south of Eleftherios Venizelos Airport. From the terminal, a taxi is the most direct option. From central Athens, allow a longer journey via the Attiki Odos motorway. Note the exact address, 25is Martiou, before setting off.
Which season should you choose for Greece?
May, June and September combine an already warm sea, less crowded sites and quieter campsites. July and August bring heat, the meltemi in the Cyclades and the highest demand, so vehicles are booked very early. In Crete, the mild weather often lasts until the end of October, ideal for hiking.
What driving rules apply in Greece?
The mainland motorways, such as the Egnatia Odos or the Olympia Odos, are tolled: keep some change or a card handy. Mountain roads are narrow and winding, sometimes with goats on the road. Observe the speed limits, which are often enforced, and beware of daring overtaking on two-lane roads.
