I mean a nice place, with nice beaches and stuff where you won't have to worry about cops.
Except Ikaria,I've been there many times
be specific if you can,tell me the name of the beach that is good for free camping



Answer
Free camping in Greece is illegal.

This means that you run the risk of getting a fine from the police, who might even come from a costal patrol boat from the sea.

If you still want to camp, Anafi, Donousa, Tilos are good spots with basic water and food supplies nearby.

If you want to be nearer to Athens, you can go to Agkistri island or to Xiliadou beach in Evoia. It is Police-free, close to civilization, but crowded in August.

If you go to Kithira, you need a vehicle to move around as there are no public transportation. There are a few beaches you can camp, Palaiopoli, Limnionas and a small one near Kapsali (I think, will have to ask my parents to confirm).

Gavdos in Crete has lots of free camping and is gorgeous, and warm weather even in october. People camp there all year round, and there is a free shower facility there. http://www.interkriti.org/camping.html

Where in Greece: Cheap, NOT-Tourist-y, beach camping, backpacker like...?

I'm a backpacker who has been gone for about 8 months so I am on a TIGHT budget. I am looking for the best place in Greece for a backpacker who likes to "rough-it", no shoes, laid back. Beach camping would be perfect, some what isolated, and not too much to get to from Athens. Any ideas??


Answer
Try Samothraki in N Greece.

Exactly as you described it with the added bonus that the locals are left in the neolithic era.

Excellent fee camping site, literally on the waves. Totally isolated, cheap, gorgeous.
