Let’s find some beautiful place to get lost. Discover the alternative side of Greece.

Camping Elena's Beach is within easy reach of points of exceptional interest in Thesprotia Greece. Just 8 km from the port of Igoumenitsa, 12 km from the idyllic Sivota and 35 km from the famous Parga, the camping will be your base for visiting the area of Thesprotia, of Ioannina and Preveza by your own means or by public transport.

Thesprotia combines mountains, rivers and sea. Maybe is well- known for their beaches but there is also a hidden cultural heritage of  traditional settlements,  watermills and stone bridges next to the rivers of Kalamas and Acheron for those who would like to experience alternative holidays.

For the last 30 years, travelers from around the world arrive in our camping and spend their vacation. The camping is within easy reach of attractions and points of exceptional interest such as Sivota, Parga, Acheron river, Corfu island, Lefkas and Paxos island. From our camping you will have the chance to know a different, an alternative side of Greece.

Either you arrive with your caravan, your motorhome, your trailer tent, your motorcycle, or your car you will find the right place to stay or to build your tent under the shade of the trees and feel the smell of the sea breeze.

For backpackers, bikers and cyclists there is always the option of finding two shady trees and hang their hammock. Or even find a nice little nest for their sleeping bag.
