Place me · Greece
Wild camping and free overnight stays – Greece
Where are you staying tonight? Greece: the national rule on sleeping in the vehicle, with source and check date, as Place me applies it on the map – and the most popular spots.
On the map, Place me shows official stopovers and campsites in green – they are meant for spending the night. Car parks and community spots get the national rule; its summary with the source is in the box “National rule Greece”.
We have not yet verified any regional rules; Place me applies the national rule across the whole country. This overview is guidance, not legal advice: signs on site and municipal by-laws take precedence.

Frequently asked questions
Greece: what applies to sleeping in a motorhome?+
Overnighting outside licensed campsites is banned nationwide, and that covers archaeological sites, beaches, the foreshore, the edges of public forests and publicly used common land. Police or port-authority officers issue an on-the-spot fine of 300 euros per person, per camping unit or per vehicle, and up to three months' imprisonment remains formally possible (Art. 7(18) of Law 4276/2014).
Greece: does the national rule apply everywhere?+
Place me applies it to all car parks and community spots in the country; we have not yet verified any regional rules. Signs on site and municipal by-laws always take precedence.
Greece: where do I find places for the night?+
