Roof top tent holidays in Greece are the perfect way to combine freedom, nature, and comfort in one unforgettable trip. Instead of booking hotels or towing a heavy RV, you travel in a capable 4×4 with a tent mounted on the roof — set up camp in minutes, sleep above the ground, and wake up to a different view every morning.

Greece is a dream destination for this kind of travel: endless coastline, mountain ranges, forests, and mild weather for most of the year. From the Peloponnese to Epirus, your next great journey begins on the roof.
What is a roof top tent?
A roof top tent mounts on your vehicle's roof rack and folds out into a full sleeping space with a built-in mattress. Compared to ground tents, it sets up in under five minutes, keeps you off uneven or damp terrain, and packs away just as fast — so you spend your time exploring, not pitching camp.
Why Greece is ideal for roof top tent travel
- Variety within short distances. In a single day you can drive from a swimming beach to an alpine forest road. Mainland Greece rewards vehicles that handle both.
- Long season. Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–early November) offer mild weather and quiet campsites; summer brings warm nights ideal for sleeping with the windows open.
- Organized campsites everywhere. Greece has a dense network of organized campsites and designated overland stops — by the sea, in the mountains, and near major archaeological sites.
Where to go
Peloponnese. Isolated beaches, lush mountains, and ancient sites like Olympia, Mystras, and Epidaurus. Quiet roads and well-run coastal campsites make it the classic first roof tent route.
Epirus & Zagori. Stone villages, the Vikos Gorge, and mountain driving at its best. Cooler temperatures make it a superb summer escape.
Evia & Central Greece. Close to our pickup points near Athens — forest tracks, thermal springs, and uncrowded beaches without long transfers.
If the Peloponnese is where you are heading, our guide to camping in the Peloponnese lists all 48 organised sites by region, with the months each one publishes and a number to confirm them on.
What to check before you go
- The tent is waterproof, stable, and easy to open and close.
- Your vehicle is a 4×4 or capable SUV with the right roof load rating.
- Sleeping setup: mattress, bedding, interior light.
- Camp kit: cooking gear, fridge or cooler, power station, table and chairs.
- Plan your overnight stays at organized campsites and designated overland stops.
With a CamperJimny rental, all of the above is already done — every vehicle comes fully kitted with a quality roof top tent, fridge, cooking equipment, power station, and camp furniture. The mattress is built into the tent; sheets, pillows and sleeping bags are the one thing you bring yourself, or ask for at booking.
Travelling in a car of your own? You can also rent a rooftop tent on its own — we check your roof bars for free first, then fit the tent to your vehicle at our Marathon base, north east of Athens.
One tool worth having on your phone before you set off: park4night's map of Greece. It is a crowd-sourced map of service points, water, waste and parking, with notes from travellers who have actually been there. Treat it as traveller intel rather than official information — entries go stale, seasons change everything, and it is always on you to check that a spot is one you are allowed to use.
