We set off from the ferry port and decided to find the first campsite for a stop-over so that we could have a well-deserved break and shower. We have up until now been relying on Garmin to provide this information but there are no Greek campsites registered, so can't use that. We had picked up a map in Bari that supposedly showed all campsites - not so, either. So we drove off. As you can see above we did 42kms but it's actually only 18kms from Patras to the campsite - the rest were the navigators mistakes (ie mine!!) - I got us hopelessly lost for the first time.
The first site we came to was closed. We had been warned that the campsites in Greece only open in June but as we were so tired and grubby, we didn't want our first wild camp to be this time. We persevered and pushed on for another 4kms and saw the signs for Camping Kato Alissos. Joy, it was open! Costas welcomed us himself, gave us the wifi logins, sold us some fresh bread and milk and we set up camp for the night.
