  1. The legislation for campervans in Greece:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Parking vs Camping: Simple parking and overnight stay inside the van is allowed normally according to the Traffic Code (KOK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    No camping behavior: It is strictly forbidden to open awnings, put out tables, chairs, or raise a pop-up roof in a public space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Forbidden Zones: Every form of parking or stay is prohibited on coastlines, beaches, forests, and archaeological sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Vehicle size limit in cities: Vans up to 7.5 meters park freely inside cities. Larger vehicles have a 24-hour parking limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fines: Illegal wild camping incurs an administrative fine starting from 300 euros per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. The legislation for buying and converting a vehicle into a campervan in Greece:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Passenger Vehicles (M1): It is the only legal passenger car category for self-builds. If you buy a commercial (F.I.Ch.) or agricultural vehicle, the law strictly forbids its conversion and you risk heavy fines for illegal change of use. The issue will not be limited only to the KTEO (MOT) check but also to a simple check by the police, as if it is found that you are carrying something beyond the declared use of the vehicle, then you will face serious trouble. On passenger vehicles you install removable equipment (e.g., camping boxes, bed) which is considered cargo, so that you are 100% legal at the KTEO and on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Factory Campervans: Vehicles built from the ground up as motorhomes and carrying an official type approval. Their registration certificate clearly states the term Motorhome or Caravan, so you are completely covered legally in every check without worrying about misinterpretations of the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. The legislation for importing and converting a license (The 2 basic ways):<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Method A \u2013 Importing a passenger vehicle and converting in Greece:<\/strong> If you want a large van (such as Fiat Ducato etc.), you must import it as a passenger vehicle (Minibus\/Combi version) from abroad. This is done to avoid commercial vehicles (F.I.Ch.), which are strictly forbidden to be converted in Greece. After the vehicle arrives, the conversion of the interior must be carried out based on technical specifications and a certified mechanical engineer undertakes the study and the submission of the file to the Ministry of Transport for the change of the license to a Motorhome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Method B \u2013 Purchase, express conversion abroad and import of a ready vehicle: <\/strong>You buy a commercial van in Germany, where the legal requirements for characterization as a Motorhome (Wohnmobil) are extremely simple and flexible. You can meet the basic specifications of the check in just one day, simply by installing cabinets and a fixed bed. The cost of the inspection process itself (T\u00dcV\/DEKRA) and the change of documents there is very low, around 200 to 300 euros. The vehicle changes license immediately and you import it into Greece with a ready European type approval, which Greek legislation is obliged to accept, permanently saving you from the domestic bureaucratic Calvary. The same happens in other countries. You just need to find the best solution for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The Greek legal framework allows overnight stays in a campervan through simple parking (KOK), but strictly prohibits wild camping and the use of outdoor equipment in public spaces. Regarding self-builds, the conversion of a commercial vehicle within Greece is illegal, limiting choices only to passenger vehicles (M1) with removable equipment. For those who wish to have a large, permanently converted van, bypassing the domestic bureaucracy is achieved either by importing a minibus and getting a mechanical engineer's approval, or through the more flexible method of purchasing and immediately changing the license to a Motorhome abroad (e.g., Germany) before final import.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Also due to the Greek legal framework, it is advisable that your choice allows you to sleep wherever you want without drawing attention. For example, with a closed van you will be able to park wherever you want, something that will be much more difficult in a car with a roof tent.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
