At the Campsite
Season 1
TV-Y
Social comedy series launched in 1989, consisting of 13 episodes and focusing on the relationships among workers and vacationers at a campsite. A series that has been subject of discussion even until recently by the Greek Press, due to the fact that it accurately describes society and the habits of the legendary 80s. It is considered one of the best and most special Greek series of all time. The main setting is the campsite “Triton” which still operates on Plaka beach, between the towns of Drepano and Tolo. The main characters are the owner of the campsite Takis Angelopoulos (Takis Moschos) and local shepherd Mitsos Peppas (Nikos Kalogeropoulos) who is hired as horse riding manager.
