Areti Camping & Bungalows - ΑΓΙΑ ΓΑΛΗΝΗ 1

This campsite is a charming place. We stayed at a bungalow there for two weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. No disturbing noises, a purely relaxing atmosphere. The bungalows are excellent, well equipped, very clean, and beautifully decorated. The view from our bungalow was stunning. We surprisingly got a very different experience to what we were used to before in other campsites which were too crowded and noisy. Good quality and calmness are a guarantee there. -highly recommended

One of the most beautiful campsites; excellent beach, large parcels, clean garden, everything well cared. It was very quiet and calm; there weren't too many people in high season. Minus for a too high price ( compared to other 5* similar campsites on Chalkidiki), and they don't let you have a barbecue.

We had a wonderful stay. The staff is really kind and helpful, the restaurant is great and the location is absolutely beautiful. Amazing place for a relaxing vacation by the sea. I recommend it undoudtedly.

A little piece if heaven… this is how I would describe Areti in one sentence. We come here every year at least once and I always look forward to these days. The area is amazing - great for walking, swimming, biking and spending time with family and friends. Yes, they have a “quiet” policy, but if you want to be loud you can always visit Panos (the food there is amazing btw) or the beach bar Las Banditas. The owner and the staff are very friendly, the spots for campers are large, there is a small shop, restaurant…basically everything you need for the perfect vacation ?

Very calm and quiet campground. Clean nice. White sandy beach. Restaurant was nice food great. Just did not understand why there was balsamic on in Greek Salad ? will come again.

Absolutely perfect campsite. Not for the party type! Very peaceful, tranquil with wonderful, simple service and excellent food at very reasonable prices. You WILL relax here. Reminds me of a resort in Mauritius! Simply a must.

The peace and quiet you get in this campsite is something that has no price (this is for those who say the price is high). When you add beautiful, regularly maintained beaches, plenty of greenery, clean water, sanitary facilities that are thoroughly cleaned every day (as well as the entire facility) and very friendly stuff, you get the most beautiful and perfect vacation. How wonderful it was for us can be seen from the fact that we stayed twice as long as we originally planned. See you next year.

I'm writing this about a visit we made here on the 17th May 2022. The first time we visited was perhaps 18 or 19 years ago, the second time 2 years after that. Let me tell you the story. We've loved this part of Greece since we were in our 20's, and we're in our early 60's. We started coming here when we didn't have two pennies to rub together. We now lucky enough to have been able to retire early so have been travelling for the last 8 years baring the pandemic interruptions. So what seems to be a life time ago we were staying in apartments in Kalamitsi with some friends of ours and decided to splash out and rent a boat for the day. In those days there was only two places on the whole peninsula where you could rent a boat and the nearest one to us was at the monstrosity of the hotel just south of Neo Marmaras, I can't remember the name of the hotel and wouldn't want to advertise the carbuncle of a place anyway. But nonetheless this was the spot where you could hire little speed boats with I think 45 horsepower engines in those days. Which is what we did. We'd come prepared as you would expect from couples doing all we could to stretch our budgets, Mythos, local white wine, fruit, sandwiches, hats, suntan cream, towels both our own and some smuggled out of our apartments, there may even have been a bottle of water I can't remember although that sounds a little too sensible for us. Well we were loving it, we headed north first past Neo Marmaras Harbour and along the coast going slowly past the lovely villas whose gardens came down to the sea and along for a good while passing place's that were simply stunning. After lunch pulled up on a beach we decided to head south. Past where we had come from and calling into every little bay we could to explore and swim, and sunbathe and probably drink another Mythos or two. The bays we past were nice but wild looking, one I remember had what looked like a wartime Dock, very utilitarian and ugly surround by beautiful crystal clear water, the contrast was marked. Anyway, we continued down the coast until we turn into the bay where Areti Camping is to be found. Well it was like beautifully different from the wildness we'd been passing but yet still wild looking, just s clean and tidy wild. The bay was smallish, perfectly shaped with a lovely sandy beach and bushes in flower that looked organised but in a higgledy-piggledy way. We had to slow down to take a closer look, I can remember the conversation, the girls thought it might have been another garden of some rich folk like we'd seen further nort. We weren't sure so pootled slowly around the bay thinking that this might be another lovely place to spend some time this until we saw a young man walking towards the small jetty slightly to the left of the bay, he waved and smiled. Thinking the natives looked friendly we pulled up on the beach and said hello. This was our first meeting of George, or Georgios to be correct. He was, and still is a lovely guy. He was keen for us to see what was on offer and to be honest, it was so lovely we were braking our necks to have s look. The beautiful flowering bushes we'd seen from the boat turned out to be being used as flowering walls separating each camping area. The bedrooms at that time look a bit like a mix of beach hut and a mini railway carriage, in fact I think they had little metal wheels on them so they didn't need planning permission or tax or something. But anyway the flowering hedges had been shaped over the years to provide really lovely living spaces, with almost everything outside including sunbathing and cooking spaces, everything except your bedroom which was in the beach huts on wheels. George offered us something to eat and drink which we were delighted to accept. It's weird I can remember all sorts of details about this visit but I can't think what we ate, it'll have been something Greek in sure.
