The end of campervan? Find your Boho Freedom Style

Recent legal changes and their impact

With the passing of Law 5170/2025, significant changes were introduced regarding the use and parking of campervans in Greece. According to Article 27 of the law:

"The parking or overnight stay of tents and campervans – whether motorized or towed – is strictly prohibited in any public space, including beaches, parks, forest areas, and even parking lots."

Furthermore, according to Article 34 of the Road Traffic Code:

"In residential areas, the parking of trailers, campervans, and boats is prohibited beyond 24 consecutive hours. Such vehicles may be parked only in designated fenced areas defined by the relevant municipalities or communities."

These provisions have sparked strong reactions from enthusiasts of campervan tourism, as they significantly restrict the ability to freely park and stay in such vehicles for those seeking freedom in their travels.

Alternative escapes with the same spirit

Despite the restrictions, there are alternative vacation styles that preserve the spirit of freedom and connection with nature:

• Glamping: Luxurious tents and wooden cabins in nature that offer comfort without losing touch with the natural environment.
• Traditional lodgings in remote villages: Homes with history and character, offering tranquility and authenticity.
• Renovated country houses: Simple homes with Mediterranean aesthetics that echo the simplicity of campervans, but with added comfort and personal style.
• Fixed base, flexible excursions: Rent a vacation home and take daily trips into the surrounding nature—without the legal hassle.

The nomadic spirit at home: Bohemian Mediterranean aesthetic

While the campervan may now be limited by this legislation, the sense of simplicity, laid-back warmth, and closeness to nature we seek can still be achieved—right within our home or holiday house. Enter the Mediterranean boho style: a decor approach combining natural materials, neutral tones, traditional craftsmanship, and modern comfort.

At LEFKO you’ll find curated items that bring this philosophy into your space:

• Natural rugs: Made of sisal or blended natural fibers, they bring a fresh summer feeling and groundedness to any space. Read all about natural sisal rugs at Lefko
• Cotton and linen fabrics: Throws, bed sheets, quilts, and curtains with a natural texture. Options available for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Handmade ceramics: Plates and decor that evoke Greek summers and the slow living lifestyle.
• Furniture with clean lines and natural finishes: Wooden side tables, stools, and lightweight shelving ideal for smaller spaces.

Mediterranean boho isn’t just a style—it’s a way of life. It encourages simplicity, functionality, a connection with nature, and inner peace—exactly what one seeks on a campervan trip or at a campsite.

How to adopt the Mediterranean boho style

If you want to bring the spirit of a free Mediterranean summer into your home, start with small but meaningful changes:

1. Choose neutral and earthy tones for the main elements of your space.
2. Use sisal, linen, and cotton across the board—from textiles to decor. See our outdoor canvas fabrics on offer
3. Emphasize handcrafted details that bring authenticity.
4. Keep the space simple and functional—every item should have meaning and use.

At LEFKO we choose products that embody these principles.
