Campervan hire in Greece

With its physical beauty and dazzling blue skies, Greece is one of the world’s unmissable tourist destinations. The country’s culture pulsates with lively music, innovative cuisine and all manner of outdoor activities in warm year-round temperatures that rarely dip below 15ºC. This land of picturesque mountain villages and seaside hamlets set around fishing boat-bobbing bays is easily accessible for road trippers and still very affordable, particularly when eating out in backstreet and visiting museums, art galleries, etc. Greece’s history spans four millennia and there’s much still to see from yesteryear. The Minoans, Romans, Arabs, Latin Crusaders, Venetians, Slavs, Albanians and Turks all left their indelible mark on this remarkably diverse nation and today’s visitors can roam free, travelling from site to site whilst soaking up the country’s rich and very colourful heritage. And once you’re done with the mainland, there are numerous idyllic islands to explore – most notably Corfu, Crete and Rhodes - each with its own unique attractions and characteristics.

Auto Europe specialises not only in car rental in Greece but also campervan hire, with a choice of convenient pick up and drop-off points. A campervan hire in Greece offers unlimited potential for visitors looking to gain access to the country's most stunning beaches (Greece has some 9,000 miles of golden shoreline) and the many ancient splendours dotted all over this fascinating country.

Travelling in Greece

With such a rich wilderness of mountains, deep gorges and white-water rivers crossed by old stone bridges, driving around Greece promises a surprise around every corner, especially in the interior where life goes on much as it has done for centuries.

The capital, Athens, needs no introduction; the city is without doubt one of the world’s most appealing places with enough must-see attractions to keep visitors entertained for several days. Perched on a rocky outcrop above the centre, the Acropolis takes centre stage as it has done since the Early Neolithic period. The site comprises several key sites dating back thousands of years, making it essential viewing for first-time visitors to the city.

Once a prosperous Roman residence, Olympia is another major draw for people visiting the beautiful Peloponnese Peninsula west of the capital. One of the most important religious and political centres of the world, and comprising over 70 buildings of varying significance, it also hosted the original Olympic Games every four years from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD.

Make the most of your campervan in Greece by exploring the unspoilt stone villages of the Pelion Peninsula in the heart of the country. Likewise, you shouldn't miss the amazing medieval monastery of Hosios Loukas located about an hour’s drive north-west of Athens, which is famous for its peaceful setting and magnificent mosaics. Nearby, the ancient sanctuary of Delphi is definitely worth seeing for its oracle dedicated to Apollo. Regarded by many as the cradle of civilisation, it blends harmoniously with its stunning surroundings on the south-western slopes of Mount Parnassus.

Visitors exploring the hinterland in their campervan hire in Greece always marvel at Metéora’s amazing sandstone towers topped by ancient monasteries and old hermitages in a location classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. In the north-west of the country close to the Albanian border, travellers can feast their eyes on the spectacular scenery of the Vikos Gorge (one of the world’s deepest) through which the Voidomatis River has been carving a passage for millions of years.

North-eastern Greece is also blessed with an astonishing number of prime tourist attractions, including the old city of Xanthi where a rich assortment of Neo-Classical, Byzantine and Ottoman architecture can be admired. But to enjoy some of the best panoramic sea views in the whole of Greece, you need to head for the 6,670-feet-high Mount Athos (Holy Mountain) which is dramatically located on a narrow peninsula jutting straight into the Aegean Sea. The mountain is also home to twenty working monasteries, most of which have been active for almost 2,000 years. More spectacular mountain views can be seen at the Olympos National Park where the highest peak in Greece (Mytikas) rises to almost 10,000 feet.
