What you should know and Understand about Wild Camping Greece

According to the Law (one point of view)

       

     

 Free camping in Greece is Consider to be illegal, according to the Law 392/1976, (ΦΕΚ Α’ 199/1976). This law prohibits the installation of tents and caravan parking in archaeological sites, seashores, beaches and generally public spaces.

       The tent (Caravan) is considered to be a “home”, covered by asylum (article 9 παρ. 1 εδ. α του Συντάγματος) and the entry of a police officer is permitted only by a warrant. So you can legally not go out from your tent and not let them get in.

      The ban on camping is exclusively from sunrise to sunset (summer time zone).*

*This is very important part, because in a way the law allows camping during the night, but not during the day.  So yes you can install your tent to a beach during the night, but you have to uninstall the tent during the day. Ιn this way you do not occupy a public space, which is illegal.

The Truth about wild free Camping Greece

The Truth is that thousands of people every summer, choose to experience wild (free) camping not because its free, but because it is a great experience.

Also truth is that plenty of people who experience wild camping during the summer period they do it for more than a week. A week or more it’s a big period for free camping and you need to be prepared. So it’s more common to use heavy camping gear and equipment, not just a tent but extra camping gear for this period. (Tents, Sleeping bags, mats, pillows, portable chairs and tables, sun umbrellas, camp fires, cooking equipment, big water bladders ,even sometimes electrical generators etc.  (Not exactly what we mean wild camping).  So you can see a wild camping spot with full of comfort, which is ok, but this is the type of free camping which is let’s say “against the law”, or it’s a tangible proof be accused of illegal wild free camping.

Using a hammock is not the same as using a tent or a caravan. Hammock is not considered to be a “home”, is not consider to be a shelter, it’s a very basic camping gear so it’s very difficult almost unfair to be accused for wild camping. However it’s true that the Greek law for the free camping is not clear, and therefore there is always a risk. The fine for free camping is 150 euros but it is rather unlikely to get any fine, in particular in these areas where traditional are destinations for free camping.
