Greece is a great country to visit with a campervan.

Camping
Camping is popular on the Mainland, and on some islands. Freecamping is generally forbidden. However, freecamping is tolerated in many areas. Keep a look out for other vehicles, and ask around before stopping for the night.
Greece is generally considered a safe country, so sleeping in your vehicle should be fine.
