Greece by Motorhome 2022 - Part 1 The Journey Down

We leave our home in the South of England and take a week to travel down through the EuroTunnel, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and San Marino, to the port of Ancona to catch the ferry to Patras in the Greek Peloponnese. We had a Camp On Board ticket so slept the night in our van on the 23 hour crossing. Not our first rodeo and pleased to say it all went pretty smoothly - and without wanting to give too much away ahead of the next video, we are absolutely loving Greece.

    I have found your videos truly inspirational. I have been contemplating a trip to the same area of Greece in my VW Campervan for some time now . Having watched your videos has given me the confidence to go for it in September. Thank you so much.

    We've just watched all six episodes of your travels from the UK through Greece and back home which was super interesting and well filmed. We're thinking of doing the same thing in our motorhome from Whitby in the UK because my girlfriend comes from Athens with an apartment in Corinth also it's a very nice little town with an amazing coastline to Patra where you were I like your motorhome because the garage gives you the space for the scooter. I've currently got a Hymer with an island bed, but I'm thinking of changing it to twin beds and a larger garage for a scooter like yours. Was your Burner Motorhome the best model for space from your research for your scooter making it was it easy to get in etc? Thank you for the great film, Alan and Rena.

    The twin beds of our Burstner works really well for us and having the large garage is great. The scooter goes in the garage very easily. We absolutely loved this trip to Greece with our motorhome, the Peloponnese is just stunning. Such a shame we didn’t have time to visit Corinth, but we will certainly do a return visit to the region and will make sure to visit. Best wishes to you 😀

    Hi, sure you will love it. I found the online websites very confusing so we went thru an agent, UK outfit called Viamare, and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and the same price as booking online, would highly recommend giving him a call. We’re not on commission, just happy to support good service. Good luck!

    You have to book a special “camping on board ticket” to stay in your van. Ferries in the summer get very busy so best to book well in advance. Viamare are a great company to book through. Happy Travels.
