 In an olive grove, terraced down to the sea, 11 miles southeast of Volos (immediately before the larger Camping Sikia). Family-owned and run, the site has good facilities including washing machines. Reliable free WiFi throughout. In late October we got a pitch right on the shore of the bay by a narrow shingle beach.
A new toilet/shower building is almost ready but there are no locks on the shower cubicle doors. There is also no provision to hang towels or clothes inside the new small cubicles, which means that campers have to undress and dress in the public area and leave their belongings there. Privacy, personal safety and security are surely more important than modern smoked glass doors?
It is a short walk along a footpath into Kato Gatzea village, with tavernas, a bakery, pharmacy and mini-market. The site’s exit drive runs steeply uphill onto the busy main road, with blind corners in each direction – a road that is totally unsuitable and unsafe for cycling, to our disappointment.
The campsite restaurant/bar was open, though no longer serving meals. ACSI Card rate applied.
Advised to phone ahead in mid-winter, when there are very few campers due to the colder weather, though it was warm enough for sea-bathing in late October.

Lovely position next to a beautiful, coarse sandy beach with very safe swimming in beautiful clear water. The beach is not exclusive to the campsite so in peak season it could get busy as on the Sunday of our visit it filled up with locals. It is also available to the campsite next door.
An easy 5 minute walk into the village where there are several restaurants, bars & cafes, with outdoor seating next to the sea, although by 19 sept most were closed for the season.
The site facilities were adequate, the ladies shower & toilet block needed some tlc & more frequent cleaning (they were not dirty but an extra clean per day would have been beneficial, also more frequent emptying of toilet waste bins). However the gents shower blocks were very old & tired & are well overdue for an overhaul.
There is an on site restaurant & mini market (winding down for end of season on our visit) with a lovely open terrace bar overlooking the beach.
Good wi-fi service, good enough for streaming TV.
A few discreet permanent sites but mostly touring pitches set amongst olive trees which give good shade. The rear of the campsite is terraced with good size pitches, but down by the beach is flat with direct access onto beach. All pitches have ehu & access to water.
Wide Tarmac driveway access from road. We were warmly greeted by owner & asked what sort of pitch we'd like, we were then shown to a perfect spot, a nice welcome.
Bus immediately outside campsite into Volos, 1€80, good for a non beach day. Ferries from Volos to the islands.
ACSI card accepted by campsite.
An excellent campsite for relaxing by the sea, swimming & boating. Would recommend.

Since the last review in 2008 I guess very little has changed. The main difference was when we stayed there were no semi permanents, in fact just us and one other campervan. The drive through Volos wasn't bad as they now have a ring road.
We had a pitch right next to the beach, open the door and 4 or 5 steps into the sea. Ehu and water next to the pitch and we were allowed to rig up a drain for grey waste. Free wifi with an excellent connection speed.
We didn't book or call ahead so when we arrived owner told us all toilets and showers were closed for renovation. He did however offer us use of a facility within the main house, a guest suite.
There is a bar and restaurant on site, both closed whilst we were there as winter. However all the bars in the village were open and less than 5 minutes walk away.
The village of Gato Katzea is a couple of minutes walk along the beach. The mini market is brilliant and sells everything you could want or need. Likewise the bakery is top notch, all breads, cakes, pies and biscuits baked fresh daily in house.
There is a Lidl 8km along the coast, plenty of villages right about the bay. In the mountains above the bay, Mount Pelion is the highest, the most beautiful little skiing villages. Whilst we were there it was sunshine sat on the beach and they were skiing in 2ft of snow on the mountain.
Boat trips out to the islands leave from the city in Volos or from the next village Kala Nera which is 10 minutes walk away. A very quiet and peaceful area, mainly used by Greeks. The campsite owners, locals, shops and bars were all really welcoming and friendly.
We would go back again for sure, a brilliant little site in a less well known part of Greece and all the better for that.

A delightful site set amid ancient olive trees just a few metres from the warm, shallow waters of the Pagasitic Gulf. To reach it involves a slightly hairy drive through the busy, chaotic centre of Volos, then about 17 km of rather twisty coast road. There are plenty of touring pitches but as summer was over these were not being used and we were shown to a pitch among the dozen or so semi-permanent caravans and motorhomes which belong predominantly to Germans who spend the summer here. As we arrived many of them were packing up ready to go home.
There is a taverna which is open in summer only, but the bar was open and was a popular gathering-place in the evenings for watching TV and using the internet. The toilet facilities are smart and modern, though as always in Greece a few things don't work! There's a room for washing-up and hand-washing and a washing machine which costs 5 euros, but soap powder is provided. There's a small shop, and the village of Kato Gatzea has a minimarket, a chemist and an excellent baker. There are a handful of bars and tavernas along the seafront.
The Pelion peninsular is very scenic and little visited by British holiday makers. The sheltered Western coast has a succession of small resorts and the mountainous, wooded interior has some interesting villages. We had a memorable trip on the narrow-gauge 'little train of Pelion' which goes from a station not far from Kato Gatzea. It winds its way up into the hills, revealing wonderful views back down to the coast, and terminates at Melies, a quaint old village with a good taverna in the central square, a small folk museum and an old church with lovely frescoes.
This is an area we would love to go back to, very unspoiled and relaxing.
