Gytheon Bay is a great campsite. They provide lovely spots, many and well maintained facilities, a beautiful swimming pool. The campsite has a direct entrance to a great beach. The kids' zone and the tabletennis facilities give an additional extra. We absolutely loved this camping!

Week camping

Great place to stay! Everything is very good organized, very friendly and very very clean. Children have a great time, its save and fun. The restaurant is good and the prices are good. Great pool and cinema ! We will come again thats for sure!

Fun and relaxing

Nice location in a beautiful bay, with long and wide sandy beach, nice staff, excellent pool area with chilling and rest area, pool bar, shades, sunbeds and umbrellas, nice beach, snack and cocktail bar, mini store, large pits. 

4 stars pool area

This is a lovely campsite situated next to a lovely beach. 
Pitches are large and not too regimented. 
All camping needs are catered for. Toilet blocks are clean and modern. The pool and surrounding area is exceptional.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful site

A nice camping ground well kept which does offer you a sense of security. Great pool and close to a sandy beach, however windy.
Pool could be slightly child proofed but nice none the less. Great service from the team always with a smile.
Close to Gythio which has many food and beverage options.

Great experience

Very good campsite with swimming pool and it's right by a sandy beach.  Quite a windy location (especially if you choose a place near to the sea).  I ate in the restaurant nearly every night as reasonable prices and campsite shop is limited and only open til 4pm. Good showers etc.   I caught the local bus to  local bays and cave and enjoyed being able to look at lovely countryside without the driving.  Oh and the pool has great pool furniture to relax on too. Definitely recommend this campsite.

Great swimming pool

I spent few nights on September. The campsite is very nice. Swimming pool, nice beach. I confirm all previous posts. Wifi is poor and minishop was open till 4pm. So I was forced to visit near Meltemi camping's shop to do shopping.

Very good

A well kept campsite with very good facilities. The bar and restaurant were good value and the showers etc were clean. The rental tent I used was perfect for my needs. 
The highlight is certainly the fact that the site is directly on the beach front. The beach itself is beautiful, clean and never crowded. 
The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is that the WiFi was unreliable and it is quite difficult to get into Gytheio if you don’t have your own car (the buses are infrequent and it’s a long uphill walk/cycle!)

Great facilities and beach

An experience that could have been 5 stars degraded to a mediocre one.

On the positive aspects:

1. Warm water in the showers 24/7
2. Great environment and lots of green
3. A perfect place for kids with lots of activities evey day including cinema with cartoons at nights
4. Friendly personnel who tries their best even under duress.
5. An overall resort feel at times
6. The sea in front of the camping is great for a swim and sunbathing.

On the negative aspects:

1. Bad WiFi making this a non suitable option for digital nomads who need to stay connected. Even reading emails can be a hassle.

2. Reports of theft and no security patrol on the tents even after 2 incidents were the police was involved making the experience an insecure one where you need to move around with your bag all day to ensure your valuables don't go missing.

3. No lifeguard on a pool of a camping primarily advertised as child / parent / family friendly. This lack of supervision also led to the pool getting contaminated (or at least changing in colour) and having to be closed down for a number of days during the busiest holiday period (August 2022).

4. Tent campers are allowed to park inside the camping site making the experience seem like you camped in a garage. There are polite notices to move these out but the lack of enfocement is a problem in this case.

5. An expensive restaurant serving okayish food with not enough and clearly stressed personnel that at times can't hide their distress.

6. This extends to the owner of the camping site who in a single occasion lost her temper and said to my upset wife: "if you don't like it here don't come again". And that happened over a trivial case which could have been easily handled by a professional in hospitality services.

All in all Gytheion Bay is great for kids. Not so much for adults.

The experience is expensive, lacks balance and it has the dynamics of an uncontrolled and unpleasant situation forming at any time i.e. a child being hit by a car that traverses the camping on speed, or your child having an accident at the pool due to the lack of professional supervision, or a child getting abducted as there is no control on who enters or exits the camping site.

This comes with the toll of not being able to relax as you should on a holiday as an adult and it is pretty serious if this is what you get with an average day cost of 100 Euros / day (which aligns with what we were spending at least on having breakfast, lunch, cocktails and accommodation) for 15 days (1.5k Euros)

Will we be visiting again? Well we certainly won't fullfiling the wishes of the owner (even under distress). At the same time though I would suggest everyone with a family considering Gytheion Bay as a good option for them with lots of activities but unless you are prepared to be 120% on alert to ensure your child's wellbeing then you should think again.
