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
70km southeast 1–3 days
This 70 km coastal drive from Athens follows the Riviera road through Vouliagmeni and Lagonissi. Stop at Lake Vouliagmeni, a natural thermal pool, before reaching Cape Sounion and its Temple of Poseidon perched above the Aegean. The car park at the archaeological site has space for campervans and offers sweeping sea views.
Athens to Corinth
90km west 1–4 days
Corinth lies roughly 90 km west of Athens, straddling the famous canal. Pause at the bridge over the Corinth Canal for views down the 6 km-long cut, then explore the fortress of Acrocorinth and the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth. Campsites along the Loutraki coast offer seaside motorhome pitches just minutes away.
Athens to Nafplio
180km southwest 3–6 days
Nafplio sits around 180 km southwest of Athens on the Peloponnese. The route crosses the Corinth Canal and passes ancient Mycenae, where the Lion Gate marks the entrance to a Bronze Age citadel. In Nafplio, climb the 999 steps to Palamidi Fortress and stroll the harbourside old town. Peloponnese roads are well-surfaced and comfortable for campervan travel.
Athens to Delphi
170km northwest 3–6 days
Delphi sits roughly 170 km northwest of Athens on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. The drive passes through Thebes and Livadia, winding through olive groves and mountain scenery. At Delphi, visit the Sanctuary of Apollo and the Delphi Archaeological Museum. Overnight parking is available in nearby Itea on the Gulf of Corinth coast, with motorhome-friendly spaces along the waterfront.
Athens to Meteora
350km northwest 5–8 days
The Meteora monasteries perch on sandstone pillars roughly 350 km northwest of Athens. The route heads through Lamia and Trikala across the Thessalian plain. Six of the original 24 monasteries remain active and open to visitors, including Great Meteoron and Varlaam. Car parks at the monasteries accommodate motorhomes. On the return, a detour to Lake Plastiras adds a scenic lakeside stop.
Athens to Thessaloniki
500km northwest 5–8 days
Thessaloniki lies around 500 km northwest of Athens along the A1 motorway. Break the journey at the Thermopylae monument and Mount Olympus, Greece's highest peak. In Thessaloniki, explore the White Tower, the Rotunda and the lively Nikis waterfront promenade. Modiano Market serves up local flavours. Campsites along the Chalkidiki coast, a short drive east, provide seaside pitches for a campervan stopover.

Campsites and parkings for recreational vehicles in Athens
Recommended campsites
Around Athens, campsites line the Attica coastline and offer pitches for both campervans and motorhomes with electrical hook-ups, shower blocks and often direct beach access. Most are located south or east of the city along the Athens Riviera and near Marathon. Several sites include swimming pools, mini-markets and Wi-Fi. Shaded pitches beneath pine trees are common, providing welcome cover during warm months.

Where to park your motorhome
In Athens, motorhomes and campervans follow the same parking rules as cars, but many central streets are narrow and underground car parks often have height restrictions that exclude larger vehicles. Overnight sleeping in a vehicle on public roads is not permitted. Use designated car parks on the city outskirts or near the port, which offer wider bays and often 24-hour access. Park-and-ride facilities at metro stations are a practical option for visiting the centre without driving in.
- Parking Piraeus Port, 12km southwest — Large car park at Piraeus port with wide bays, 24-hour access and surveillance. A convenient base for island ferry departures.
- Parking Metro Doukissis Plakentias, 15km northeast — Park-and-ride facility at Doukissis Plakentias metro station with free parking spaces. Direct metro connection to central Athens in around 30 minutes.
- Parking Faliro (Stavros Niarchos), 5km south — Car park at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in Faliro with wide bays and parkland. Tram connection to central Athens.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, Yescapa lists plenty of dog-friendly vehicles in the Athens area. Many private owners welcome pets on board and indicate this in their listing — use the pet-friendly filter when searching. Greece offers numerous dog-friendly beaches along the Attica coast, such as Schinias near Marathon. Bring a blanket for the upholstery and plenty of water. Check lead rules at archaeological sites around Athens before visiting, as regulations can vary from site to site.
For couples or solo travellers, a compact campervan with two berths works well — easy to manoeuvre through Athens' narrow streets and economical on fuel. Families with children benefit from a motorhome with four to six berths, offering more storage and a full kitchen. Groups of five or more can find larger vehicles with overcab beds or drop-down bunks on Yescapa. Keep in mind that narrower vehicles are easier to handle in central Athens and along coastal roads in Attica.
Prices for hiring a campervan or motorhome in Athens depend on the season, vehicle size and equipment. In spring and autumn, compact campervans start from around €60 per day, while larger motorhomes are available from roughly €90 per day. Summer rates tend to be a bit higher. Through Yescapa, you hire directly from private owners across the Attica region, which often means better daily rates than commercial operators and a personal handover with route tips included.
Several pick-up locations are available across the Athens area. Many vehicle owners on Yescapa are based in neighbourhoods such as Marousi, Glyfada and Kifissia, as well as near Athens International Airport. You will also find listings around Piraeus port. When booking through Yescapa, you arrange the handover point directly with the owner, so you can often collect your campervan or motorhome close to where you arrive, saving time on extra transfers.
To find a good deal in Athens, keep your travel dates flexible and consider booking outside the peak summer months of July and August. On Yescapa, you can compare listings from different private owners across the Attica region and filter by price, vehicle size and equipment. Booking early helps secure the best daily rates. Multi-day hires often bring the per-day cost down further. Look out for vehicles that include mileage and camping accessories — it saves on extras during your trip.
What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Athens

Una parte del viaje bien, pero el final muy mal. El vehículo muy bien, y el dueño siempre contestó a cualquier duda que tuvimos durante el viaje. También nos pidió un favor, que devolviésemos la Camper dos horas antes de lo que habíamos contratado, y aunque nos suponía una espera de más de 3 horas en el aeropuerto, acepté, vista su amabilidad durante el viaje. Pero en la devolución, todo se estropeó. En el repaso que hizo al coche, vio un pequeño rozón del tamaño de una uña cortada, y otro rozón largo, pero que no tenía ni el grosor de un pelo (de hecho, a plena luz del día, sólo se veía si lo iluminaba con el flash del móvil...). Por esas dos pequeñeces, junto con una lengüeta de plástico del techo, de 1cm de tamaño, nos cobró 180€. Que además, no nos devolvió el resto de la fianza (que eran 750€) hasta casi 4 semanas después (hasta el 9 de septiembre cuando el vehículo lo recogió el 15 de agosto), y por si fuera poco la tardanza, no aportó absolutamente ningún recibo del coste de los arreglos. O sea, una sensación de indefensión total.

Feeling right at home Traveling across Portugal with Koda was a perfect, unique, and wonderful experience ☺️ Carina and Rafaela met us right at the airport and explained everything about the van—covering every detail clearly and effectively. We had never taken an off-the-cuff trip like this before; without any set plans, we drove all the way to Sagres, navigating easily through narrow roads, campsites, and stunning beaches 😍 Its compact size makes it comfortable to drive almost immediately, allowing for effortless maneuvering even on narrow roads, whether driving uphill or on light off-road terrain. The van is fully equipped: it has kitchenware, a sink, a convenient handheld shower, and even a solar shower, plus two camping chairs and an easy-to-assemble table. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and when not in use, it converts into a small bench. It was easy and delightful to feel right at home during this vacation; we can’t wait to return to Portugal to explore the north with Koda 🧡

Absolute pleasure to host this group of three! Everything went completely smoothly from pickup to return. They treated the camper with great respect, followed all guidelines, and kept in touch throughout the trip. Reliable, responsible, and friendly—10/10 renters, highly recommended to any owner on Yescapa!

O Tiago e a Bruna foram impecáveis - cuidaram muito bem da carrinha ao longo de toda a viagem e a comunicação foi fácil do início ao fim. Adorei partilhar a experiência de van life com eles, numa carrinha que estimo tanto - foi também uma boa experiência para nós. Obrigada, Tiago!
