Why choose Athens for your road trip
Athens — a city worth exploring
Athens has been continuously inhabited for over 7,000 years, making it one of the oldest cities in the world still thriving today. The Acropolis, crowned by the Parthenon built in 447 BC, dominates the skyline and remains the most recognisable landmark in Greece. Below it, the Acropolis Museum houses over 4,000 artefacts spanning centuries of Athenian history. Wander through the Plaka neighbourhood, where neoclassical buildings line narrow pedestrian streets perfect for an afternoon stroll. For a greener escape, the National Garden of Athens offers 15 hectares of shade and calm right in the city centre. History enthusiasts will appreciate the Ancient Agora of Athens, once the heart of public life in classical times. Beyond the city, the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion sits just 69 km to the southeast, while the port city of Piraeus is only 12 km southwest, connecting you to the Greek islands by ferry. Athens is well suited for exploring by road — wide coastal avenues lead south towards the Athenian Riviera, and major motorways head north into mainland Greece. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners across the Athens area, giving you the freedom to combine city sightseeing with coastal drives and island-hopping adventures at your own pace.
Best time to visit
Athens welcomes visitors warmly throughout the year. Spring is ideal for exploring on foot, with the Athens Open Air Film Festival launching screenings across the city from June. September and October bring comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds, perfect for parking your campervan near the coast. The Athens Authentic Marathon in November retraces the original route from Marathon to the city — a memorable event to witness. Summer is the most popular season, so we recommend booking your motorhome on Yescapa early to secure the best choice from local owners. Winter offers a quieter Athens with mild days suited to cultural exploration and easy access to campsites along the Attic coastline.
Top getaways from Athens
Athens is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Athens to Cape Sounion
69km southeast 1–3 days
Head 69 km southeast from Athens along the scenic coastal road to Cape Sounion, home to the Temple of Poseidon perched above the Aegean Sea. Stop at Vouliagmeni Lake for a swim in its warm mineral waters. Campervan parking is available near the temple entrance, and the drive along the Athenian Riviera makes this a rewarding short escape.
Athens to Corinth
86km west 1–4 days
Drive 86 km west from Athens to Ancient Corinth, where the Temple of Apollo and the Corinth Canal await. Cross the narrow canal bridge for dramatic views of the 6 km waterway cut through solid rock. The Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth is well worth a visit. Motorhome-friendly parking areas are found near the canal, making this an easy overnight trip.
Athens to Delphi
180km northwest 3–6 days
Travel 180 km northwest from Athens to Delphi, the ancient sanctuary once considered the centre of the world. Explore the Temple of Apollo and the Delphi Archaeological Museum, then take in views of the olive-filled valley below. Stop in the mountain town of Arachova for local cheese and wine. Campervan pitches are available at campsites near Itea on the coast.
Athens to Nafplio
160km southwest 3–6 days
Head 160 km southwest from Athens to Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece. Climb the 999 steps to Palamidi Fortress for panoramic views over the Argolic Gulf, and visit the tiny Bourtzi Castle on its island in the harbour. Nearby Epidaurus, 30 km east, has a remarkably preserved ancient theatre. Several campsites with full hook-ups operate along the coast near Nafplio.
Athens to Meteora
310km northwest 5–8 days
Drive 310 km northwest from Athens to Meteora, where six monasteries sit atop towering sandstone pillars. The Great Meteoron Monastery and Varlaam Monastery are the most visited. Break the journey in Lamia or Trikala for an overnight stop. Roads are well-maintained and suitable for motorhomes, though the final approach involves winding mountain roads — take it slowly and enjoy the views.
Athens to Olympia
350km southwest 5–8 days
Travel 350 km southwest from Athens to Ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games. Visit the Archaeological Museum of Olympia and walk through the ancient stadium where athletes competed over 2,700 years ago. Cross the Rio-Antirrio Bridge near Patras for a memorable drive. Campervan-friendly campsites with showers and hook-ups are plentiful in the western Peloponnese countryside.

Where to park your motorhome
Parking a motorhome or campervan in Athens requires some planning, as the city centre has limited space for larger vehicles. Overnight parking on public streets is generally permitted unless signage states otherwise, but finding a suitable spot can be challenging in central neighbourhoods. We recommend using dedicated parking areas on the outskirts and taking public transport into the centre. The Athens Metro connects outer areas efficiently, so you can park comfortably and still reach the Acropolis within minutes.
- Parking Faliro (Flisvos Marina), 8km southwest — Large open-air parking area near Flisvos Marina with space for larger vehicles. Close to the tram line connecting to Syntagma Square.
- Katechaki Metro Parking, 5km northeast — Park-and-ride facility at Katechaki Metro station with spaces suitable for campervans. Direct metro access to the city centre.
- Elliniko Metro Parking, 12km south — Spacious parking area near Elliniko Metro station on the southern outskirts. Good option for motorhomes, with metro connections to central Athens.
Frequently asked questions
Campervan hire in Athens through Yescapa typically starts from around £70–£120 per day, depending on the vehicle size, season, and owner. Because Yescapa connects you directly with local owners, you often find more competitive rates than traditional rental agencies. Prices tend to be lower outside the peak summer months, and many owners offer weekly discounts. Smaller campervans for two people sit at the lower end, while larger motorhomes with full kitchens and bathrooms are at the higher end of the range.
With Yescapa, motorhome pick-ups in Athens are arranged directly with local owners, so collection points vary across the city and surrounding areas. Common pick-up locations include neighbourhoods like Glyfada and Marousi, as well as areas near Athens International Airport in Spata. Some owners in Piraeus also offer convenient collection for those arriving by ferry. You can filter by location on Yescapa to find the closest vehicle to your arrival point and arrange a time that suits you.
To find affordable campervan or motorhome hire in Athens, start by being flexible with your dates. Travelling in spring or autumn often means lower daily rates on Yescapa, as demand is lighter than in summer. Booking well in advance also helps you secure the best-value vehicles before they are taken. Compare different owners on Yescapa — some offer discounts for longer trips of a week or more. Smaller campervans are generally more budget-friendly and easier to park in Athens than larger motorhomes.
For couples or solo travellers exploring Athens and the Attic coast, a compact campervan with two berths is ideal — easy to park in tighter spots and fuel-efficient for city driving. Families of four or five will be more comfortable in a motorhome with a fixed bed and dinette conversion, giving everyone their own sleeping space. If you are planning longer road trips into the Peloponnese or northern Greece, a larger vehicle with a full kitchen and bathroom adds real comfort. Browse Yescapa to compare layouts and find the right fit for your group.
Yes, many campervan and motorhome owners on Yescapa near Athens welcome pets on board. You can filter your search specifically for dog-friendly vehicles when browsing listings. Greece is generally welcoming to dogs, and many beaches along the Attic coast and in the Peloponnese allow dogs, especially outside peak summer. Always check the individual listing for any specific pet policies, and bring a travel crate or blanket to keep the vehicle in good condition. It is a good idea to confirm directly with the owner before booking.

Exceptional experience, I highly recommend it! Nuno is responsive, attentive and genuinely caring: he picked us up at the airport and provided us with a comprehensive list of must-see spots to explore the island, eat and sleep. Thanks to him, we discovered Madeira in a truly unique and authentic way. An unforgettable trip, made possible in large part by his invaluable help.
