Anywhere Campers ThessalonikiThessalonikiView map
Hiring a campervan in Thessaloniki means setting off from northern Greece's great city, open onto the Thermaic Gulf, with all of Greek Macedonia around you: the three peninsulas of Halkidiki and their pine-fringed beaches, Mount Olympus, the royal tombs of Vergina and, further south-west, Meteora. For your motorhome hire in Thessaloniki, four partner companies are waiting for you: Anywhere Campers, Camper Club, Luna Campers and Rolling Turtles, from the two-seater campervan to the six-berth family motorhome.
Three depots are in the city itself; Rolling Turtles welcomes you in Thermi, in the south-eastern suburbs, towards the airport.

Road trips from Thessaloniki
1 Halkidiki, from Kassandra to Mount Athos
- Thessaloniki
- Nea Moudania
- Kassandra
- Neos Marmaras
- Toroni
- Sarti
- Ouranoupoli
- Thessaloniki
Via Nea Moudania you enter Kassandra, the first finger of Halkidiki, with its lively resorts of Kallithea and Pefkochori and its coves to the south. Wilder Sithonia strings together pine forests, turquoise water and small harbours such as Neos Marmaras, Toroni and Sarti, facing the silhouette of Mount Athos. In Ouranoupoli, a cruise runs along the monasteries of the peninsula, which is closed to vehicles. Campsites there are often right on the beach.

2 Vergina, Meteora and Mount Olympus
- Thessaloniki
- Edessa
- Vergina
- Meteora (Kalambaka)
- Litochoro
- Dion
- Thessaloniki
Heading west, the waterfalls of Edessa come before Vergina, whose great burial mound shelters the royal tombs of Macedon, including that of Philip II. The road then reaches Kalambaka, at the foot of the Meteora monasteries perched on their rock pillars. On the way back, Litochoro opens the way to Mount Olympus: a mountain road climbs to Prionia, the starting point of the trails to the refuges. The ancient site of Dion closes the loop, at the foot of the massif.

- Thessaloniki
- Amphipolis
- Kavala
- Philippi
- Keramoti
- Thassos
- Thessaloniki
The Egnatia motorway runs east to the Lion of Amphipolis, then on to Kavala, a port overlooked by its old town, fortress and aqueduct. The ruins of Philippi, a World Heritage Site, are a quarter of an hour away. From Keramoti, a ferry reaches Thassos in under an hour: a road circles the island, between mountain villages, white marble quarries and beaches such as Golden Beach or Aliki.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Thessaloniki?
Best time
April to June, September and October
April to June, September to October
highs 19 to 30 °C, lows 9 to 19 °C
The best time to leave from Thessaloniki: in May and June, the Enipeas gorge above Litochoro can be walked without strong heat, and the sea in Halkidiki already reaches 25 °C in June. September is ideal for the beaches, with water at 27 °C and less crowded campsites; in October the sea stays at 22 °C, but some campsites close by the end of the month.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 32 °C, lows 22 °C
This is beach season: Halkidiki welcomes the people of Thessaloniki and many travellers from the neighbouring Balkans, and the sea warms up to 29 °C. The campsites of Sithonia and Kassandra are fully booked and, at weekends, the road to the peninsulas gets busy: book your pitches, drive early in the morning and look for cooler air on the slopes of Olympus.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 10 to 16 °C, lows 2 to 8 °C
Winter is cooler than in Athens: the vardaris, a cold wind blowing down the Vardar valley, sweeps through the city, and November and December are the wettest months. Snow covers Olympus and the mountains to the west. Most Halkidiki campsites close; in return, Meteora and Vergina can be visited in peace.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Three depots in the city, one in Thermi
Anywhere Campers, Camper Club and Luna Campers hand over their vehicles in Thessaloniki, at the address given in the booking confirmation. Rolling Turtles is based in Thermi, south-east of the city: a departure away from the city centre, already facing Halkidiki, which avoids the traffic jams of the seafront.
Visiting the centre without the motorhome
The centre of Thessaloniki, between the seafront, the White Tower and Aristotelous Square, is dense and has few spaces for large vehicles. Visit it before pick-up or after return, on foot or by metro: the line opened at the end of 2024 links the railway station to the east of the city, running beneath the historic centre.
Tolls on the Egnatia and the A1
The Egnatia Odos, the A2 motorway that crosses northern Greece from Igoumenitsa to the Turkish border, passes through Thessaloniki; to the south, the A1 runs past Olympus towards Athens. Both are tolled, with regular toll booths where the fare depends on the vehicle category: keep cash or a bank card within reach.
Wild camping prohibited
In Greece, wild camping is prohibited, and spending the night in a motorhome on a Halkidiki beach or by the roadside can be fined. The region does, however, have many beachfront campsites, in Kassandra as well as Sithonia. In summer, the risk of fire in the pine forests also bans any fire or barbecue outside designated areas.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Thessaloniki
Where can I pick up a campervan in Thessaloniki?
Four partner companies are present: Anywhere Campers, Camper Club and Luna Campers have a depot in Thessaloniki, and Rolling Turtles welcomes its customers in Thermi, in the south-eastern suburbs. The exact handover location is in your confirmation; let the company know your arrival time, especially if you are coming straight from the airport or the railway station.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Thessaloniki?
The price depends on the season, the length of hire and the vehicle, from the Van for 2 to the six-berth Sunlight A70; July and August, when Halkidiki fills up, remain the busiest period. Run a search with your dates to compare our partners' offers, mandatory fees included and bookable straight away.
Can I drive to North Macedonia or Bulgaria?
Both borders are about an hour's drive away: Skopje and Lake Ohrid on one side, Melnik and the Rila Monastery on the other. Leaving Greece requires the rental company's consent and insurance valid in the country visited; North Macedonia, outside the European Union, checks documents at the border, and Bulgaria requires an electronic vignette. Check the authorised countries in the offer conditions.
Can I do a one-way trip to Athens or Igoumenitsa?
Yes: Athens and Igoumenitsa are also departure cities of our partners. Towards Igoumenitsa, the Egnatia crosses Epirus via Ioannina and the Pindus range, with a possible detour to the Vikos Gorge and the stone villages of Zagori. Any one-way fee is included in the displayed price as soon as you choose the return city.
Can I visit Mount Athos?
The monastic peninsula of Mount Athos is only open to men holding a special permit, the diamonitirion, issued in limited numbers, and only by boat from Ouranoupoli: no visitor vehicle may enter. Everyone can, however, take the cruise along the west coast and its monasteries, or admire the mountain from the beaches of Sithonia.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Thessaloniki
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Greece?
Vehicles under 3.5 tonnes can be driven with a category B licence. A European Union licence is enough; with a licence issued elsewhere, bring an international driving permit, which is also useful if you plan to cross into North Macedonia. The minimum age and years of driving required vary by rental company: they are shown in the conditions of each offer.
Which vehicle should I choose in Thessaloniki?
The Van for 2, with two berths, suits couples heading for the coves of Sithonia and the narrow road to Prionia. The Carado T-447 sleeps four, the Adria Matrix and the Sunlight T 68 five, and the Sunlight A70, the largest, six: a family size more at ease on the Egnatia and in the campsites of Kassandra. Most come with a manual or automatic gearbox.
When should I book a campervan in Thessaloniki?
For a departure between June and September, book several months ahead: with four companies on site, campervans go quickly, and a one-way trip to Athens or Igoumenitsa requires a vehicle free on the right dates. Out of season, a few weeks before departure is usually enough to find the model you want and an open campsite.
How do I get to the depots from Thessaloniki airport?
Makedonia Airport lies south-east of the city, on the gulf, about twenty minutes from the centre. Thermi, where Rolling Turtles is based, is close by: a taxi is enough. For the depots in Thessaloniki, buses link the airport to the centre and the railway station. Give the rental company your flight number to arrange the meeting time.
Can I take the ferry to Thassos with the motorhome?
Ferries to Thassos leave from Keramoti and Kavala and take motorhomes without difficulty, but a crossing with a rental vehicle often requires the company's consent, sometimes with suitable insurance. Check the offer conditions before booking; in July and August, also buy your ferry ticket in advance to avoid waiting at the port.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is the gateway to northern Greece, far less visited than Attica or the islands. An hour's drive takes you to the beaches of Halkidiki; one to three hours, to Olympus, Kavala or Meteora. The city itself, with its Byzantine walls, its World Heritage churches and its renowned cuisine, deserves a day before or after the trip.
Four partner companies offer vehicles from the two-seater campervan to the six-berth motorhome. The borders of North Macedonia and Bulgaria are close for those who want to continue into the Balkans, and Athens and Igoumenitsa, other departure cities of our partners, let you end the trip without retracing your steps. From April to June and again from August to October, the climate is particularly well suited to travelling.
