from 9 reviews Write review

The Simos campsite has a unique location in the protected nature reserve on the idyllic island of Elafonisos, which lies to the south of the Peloponnese. Just fifty metres from the campsite, beyond the dunes, lies a spectacular sandy beach along the Mediterranean. Simos is a well-organised, spaciously designed campsite with large pitches for caravans and campers as well as separate areas for tents.

Camping amidst the mountains

Elafonisos is a hilly island: you can even see the green mountains rising around the campsite. However, the site itself is entirely flat, which makes it a perfect place to set up your camping equipment. The property has separate areas for those camping in tents. These are kept apart from the touring pitches for caravans and campers. Nearly all the pitches are in the shade, which is largely provided by hung cloths, but also by trees. 

The clear waters of Simos Beach

The only thing separating Simos Beach, the broad sandy coast along the Mediterranean Sea, from the campsite are the dunes. The beach is composed of fine, white sand, which is fairly unusual for Greece. The water here is crystal clear and the view is stunning: both sides of the bay are enclosed by the island's rugged hills. You can hire a thatched umbrella or a lounger for some additional comfort. 

Souvlaki and cocktails

The cafe and restaurant on the campsite serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The authentic Greek dishes, like souvlaki, are the highlight, but you can also order baked goods and ice cream. The large covered terrace provides a wonderful seating area in the shade. The campsite also features a mini-mart with a decent range of offerings. The bar on the site, which opens at 10 in the evening, is a great place to spend sultry nights filled with summery music and refreshing cocktails.

Il campeggio si presenta ospitale con diversi servizi di qualità alta per gli standard dei campeggi greci che normalmente sono molto spartani. Piccolo parco giochi, minimarket essenziale, riStorante, bar, spiaggia libera e anche attrezzata. C’è pure un compressore per i gonfiabili. È ventilato e quindi nonostante le alte temperature si sta bene anche in roulotte.
Siamo stati fortunati e non ci hanno messo nel parking attrezzato con tettoie dove normalmente vanno i camper (foto che si vedono in internet) ma nel campeggio dove abbiamo i servizi vicini e un ombra minima. Attenzione all’ingresso che è stretto e noi abbiamo graffiato in basso la caravan. La spiaggia è spettacolare con acqua bassa e trasparente, una delle migliori se non la migliore di tutto il Peloponneso. Oggi scaricando il wc chimico ho visto che c’è un tubo rotto è quello che scaricavo finiva poi in maggior parte nel campo...meno male che defilato dal campeggio. L’isola è molto bella e il paesino caratteristico con molti ristoranti tipici dove provare le famose Pita. L’acqua del porto sembra quella di una piscina. Per arrivarci ci sono dei piccoli traghetti ogni mezz’ora da Pounta, 10 minuti di viaggio, dove comunque o l’entrata o l’uscita la devi fare in retromarcia con le indicazioni dei portuali. Se volete fare libera o semilibera c’è una taverna a Pounta prima di imbarcarvi per l’isola che si chiama Oasis diretta da Andreas che vi può ospitare in cambio del fatto che ceniate. Ci sono bagni, docce all’aria aperta, corrente su richiesta. La clientela è fatta

Personal war unfreundlich, in der Nacht lief Partymusik bis 3 Uhr, für Familien absolut ungeeignet! Die Nachtruhe wird nicht eingehalten. Es gibt angeblich eine Security, nur leider haben wir von dieser nichts bemerkt. Von verschiedenen Stellen kam laute Musik.
Der Strand ist absolut sehenswert, nur leider total überfüllt. Es ist eher ein Tagesausflug mit der Fähre sinnvoll. Wlan funktionierte leider nicht. An den Duschen stand man teilweise bis 30 Minuten an, das Wasser ist aufbereitet und man klebt danach trotzdem noch. Es gibt definitiv zu wenige Duschen..für ein Auto und Dachzelt muss man leider genauso viel bezahlen wie mit Wohnmobil/ Wohnwagen. Auf anderen Campingplätzen war man da kulanter..

Wir waren von diesem CP etwas enttäuscht - doch der Strand hat alles entschädigt.

Stellplatz Nähe beim Strand nicht möglich - die sind für Griechen reserviert. Auch mit Meerblick ist nix erhältlich da man über einen Hügel zum
Strand gelangt - der wirklich traumhaft ist.

Die Mitarbeiter im „Self- Service“ wollen nicht wirklich arbeiten und verstehen auch kein Englisch oder wollen es nicht - habe dann versucht mir Google Translate ins griechische zu übersetzen.

Sanitäranlagen sind für die Größe von Platz sehr wenig bemessen 4 duschen u 4 Klos pro Geschlecht - nur ein Abwaschplatz mit drei Einheiten.

Mini Market Mitarbeiterin dürfte auch gereizt gewesen sein, hat die Produkte förmlich aus der Hand gerissen und hingeknallt.

Alles in allem ist die Insel wirklich schön - vielleicht hat ja mal ein anderer Betreiber auch die Möglichkeit einen CP zu eröffnen.

Életem egyik leggyönyörűbb helye, olyan, mintha a Maldív-szigeteken lettem volna. Gyerekbarát, kedves személyzet. Az étterem annyira nem tetszett, mert nem volt túl nagy választék és kicsit menza jellegű volt. Szuper, hogy van a parton kiszolgálás. Összességében csodálatos hely, olyan, mintha egy álomba csöppentünk volna.

We zijn met onze caravan overgestoken van Pounta naar het prachtige eiland Elafonisos. De Ferry hielp ons goed omdat we achteruit de Ferry af moesten.
Camping was snel gevonden, maar was even schrikken: héél veel beton en asfalt ( en grit waar je je tent kon opzetten) en geen gras dus. Maar wel plaatsen met veel schaduw.
Vanaf de camping een paar kleine duinen oversteken naar een werkelijk prachtig strand een klaarheldere zee. Eigenlijk on-Europees.
Sanitair is goed, maar warmwater was moeilijk af te stellen. Restaurant was niet bijzonder, maar 5 km verderop in de “hoofdstad” waren heerlijke restaurantjes.
