  • Spaces for tents and caravans
  • Toilets and showers with hot water
  • Kitchen, refrigerators and shared facilities
  • Shading areas and electricity
  • Café or small mini market

Ideal for families, couples or young people who want to experience the island at a more leisurely pace, the organized campsite offers a combination of safety and contact with the environment.

Free Camping: Closer to Nature

Although free camping is not officially permitted by law, it remains a popular choice among experienced campers. Some choose secluded beaches or areas with natural shade, such as Kaladi, Livadi or areas near Paleopoli. The island’s natural locations offer ideal conditions for staying in nature — with respect, however, for the environment and local authorities.

Visitors who choose this form of vacation should be particularly careful about cleanliness, waste management and fire prevention, especially during the summer months.
