Yes, inside the vehicle, where the vehicle is legally parked. The Road Traffic Code treats a parked motorhome as an ordinary vehicle, and inside built-up areas a motorhome up to 7.50 metres has no parking time limit where cars may park. Towed caravans and motorhomes over 7.50 metres may not stay beyond 24 hours. Hellenic Police headquarters issued clarifying orders in March and July 2026 confirming that staying inside a legally parked vehicle overnight is not by itself an offence.

No. Camping outside an organised, licensed site is prohibited by the national tourism law, as amended in January 2025. The prohibition names archaeological sites, the foreshore and beaches, the edges of public forests and public spaces generally. The same provision says that when parking where the traffic code allows it, occupying space beyond the vehicle is not permitted, which is the line between parking and camping.

The statute sets an administrative fine of 300 euros, imposed on the spot by a police or coast guard officer, and charged per person or per tent or per vehicle, so a group can be fined several times over. Greek sources disagree widely on this. Older guides quote about 150 euros, which is the 1993 figure of 50,000 drachmas. Travel sites quote up to 3,000 euros, which is the criminal maximum under separate provisions rather than a roadside ticket, alongside imprisonment of up to three months.

Yes, and the trigger is height rather than weight. Greek motorway operators put any vehicle over 2.20 metres tall with two or three axles into category 3, which runs roughly two and a half times the car rate at each barrier. At the Pelasgia barrier on the A1 in 2026 a car paid 4.10 euros and a category 3 vehicle paid 10.20. The Rio to Antirrio bridge uses a two metre line instead: 15.90 euros under it, 24.70 euros over it.
