The Best Seaside Campsites

Nicolas

This region is a perfect example of ancient Greece, a fancy mix of ruins, myths and classic tales. Nicolas campsite is close to the town of Tiryns, which hosts an annual classic Greek theatre festival. So you might be sharing the site with actors practicing their lines. The camp is just a stone's throw from the waters of the bay.

Glavotok

It is right by the water's edge and offers great diving and local seafood specialities. When the campsite lights go off at 11pm, all that's left is the sound of lapping water. Glavotok gets busy in high season with hosts of regular visitors, so booking ahead is essential.

Zakynthos

Zakynthos, once known as the Venice of the east, is one of the most breathtaking islands in the Ionian Sea and has one of the most dramatic campsites. The clifftop areas of Zakynthos give you clear views across the sea.

Cala Llevado

You get five beaches for the price of one at this site on the Costa Brava coastline. There's everything from a comfortable little pirate cove to a sweeping bay. The site is enormous but some of the areas are so far from it that it's like camping wild. Others are on top of one of the beaches, giving you a bird's eye view.

Best Places to Visit in July

Norway's Fjords

Most travelers prefer to visit Norway's famous fjords (峡湾) in July because Norway has about 23 hours of daylight, giving travelers lots of time to take in the spectacular views of blue water, glaciers and mountains. July is also when Norway's weather is at its warmest, about 18℃, so travelers might include a light sweater in their luggage.

Bastille Day in Paris

July 14 is a national day celebrating independence to the French. July 14, 1789, is the day the French stormed the Bastille, a Paris prison, and officially began the French Revolution, overthrowing a royal government that often threw people in prison there for no reason at all. While the day is marked all over France, the biggest celebration takes place in Paris.

Masai Mara National Reserve

The thrill of seeing millions of animals wander the plains in Kenya is not easily forgotten. One of the most popular months to visit the Masai Mara is in July when the famous wildlife migration reaches the Masai Mara and zebras are at their highest number. The best times to view the animals in Kenya's most popular game park are dawn and dusk.

Running of the Bulls in Pamplona

Travelers who pride themselves on being fast runners may want to head to Pamplona in July for the San Femin Festival. A key part of this annual festival is the running of the bulls. Six bulls are released onto a narrow street for a half-mile run, with hundreds of runners seeing if they can run faster than the animals.
