Diesel & Petrol Prices in Greece

Bulgarian reality TV stars Sami Hosny and Mila Savova spent the summer in a caravan in Greece, at a campsite near the resort of Nea Iraklitsa, close to Kavala. Hosny, a fitness instructor of Egyptian descent, and his wife, known from the show 'Survivor', chose this type of vacation for its simplicity and family time. They emphasize that the caravan is their home, not a compromise.

In 2025, overnight stays at campsites and motorhome pitches in the EU reached 413 million, up 28.5% from 2015, compared to 23.4% growth for hotels. Greece, despite its natural potential, underuses this segment: Law 5170/2025, while expanding opportunities for glamping, simultaneously imposes bans on motorhome parking and tent pitching in certain public areas with a fine of 300 euros, creating a lack of legal infrastructure.

EU camping nights hit 413 million in 2025 (+28.5% vs 2015), while Greece accounts for under 1% of tourist flow. Authorities lack a dedicated camping strategy.

On Monday afternoon, an SUV towing a camper overturned on the Pyrgos–Kyparissia road in Elis. Firefighters freed the couple, who were taken to Krestena hospital.

On Monday afternoon in Kato Samiko (Ilia), a car towing a caravan left the road and overturned. Tourists were trapped, at least one person injured.

On the morning of August 14, a caravan detached from the towing vehicle in Vravrona and continued moving uncontrolled for a short time. According to a social media post by Vasiliki Tsepa, the incident occurred near the 4th stop in Vravrona. No injuries or damage to other vehicles were reported. The post urges drivers to check the coupling before departure.
