The remaining ones are investing in upgrading facilities to attract European tourists traveling by motorhome or tent.

A review of organized campsites in Greece, including locations in Peloponnese, Halkidiki, Evia, Zakynthos, Serifos, Antiparos, and Amorgos. Each site lists seasonal rates, amenities (showers, toilets, electricity, pool, restaurant), and specific rules (e.g., no caravans in high season at Amorgos).

Greece's Council of State rejected a Swedish company's claim for compensation over a motorhome confiscated after being used to smuggle eight undocumented migrants. The vehicle was rented in Sweden in 2002, the driver arrested in Patras, and the motorhome forfeited to the Hellenic Air Force. The company sought €87,596 but all courts found no unlawful omission by Greek authorities.

A family of four (Irish and French nationals) crashed their motorhome on the Ionia Odos highway in Greece. The vehicle hit guardrails, trapping the driver. Rescuers freed them and took them to Arta General Hospital, where all were treated within an hour.
