The Region

The Region in Detail

Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Peloponnes.

North vs. South: Your Peloponnese Adventure

The north beckons with ancient sites like Olympia and Delphi (even if Delphi isn't technically on the Peloponnese, it makes for a great day trip). In the south, untouched beaches, the charming Monemvasia, and the impressive Diros caves await. Choose based on the focus of your camping holiday!

Staying Flexible: Leave the Motorhome Behind?

The roads on the Peloponnese are mostly well-developed. However, some mountain roads are winding and narrow. Consider parking your campervan at a campsite and exploring the region with a smaller rental car. Tolls apply on the motorways around Corinth.

The Mountain Village of Kardamili: More Than Just Beach

Leave the coast and discover the picturesque mountain village of Kardamili in the Mani. Here, time moves slower. Enjoy traditional Greek cuisine in one of the tavernas, hike through the olive groves, and let yourself be enchanted by the authentic atmosphere.
