The story of Gythion Bay begins from the year 1980 that Mr. Koutsogiannis Fontas rent this field from the owner Zafeiris Zafeirakos. He rent the field so as to turn it into the first camping place of the region. The camping was a very successful businness. Every summer hundreds of tourists were arriving, mostly backpackers and from countries such as Germany, Austria, Holland, Switzerland etc. Every evening the "greek kamakia" were there at the bar waiting for the girls to appear. The bar was full. The barmen changed the 30lt beer barrels one after the other and the people outside the bar were fighting who will catch the beer first. Those years stayed in history for the great parties and the great love stories that led even to weddings.
