Valtaki–Trinasos coastal archaeological area (Laconia)
What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Valtaki–Trinasos coastal archaeological area (Laconia).
Spearfishing is prohibited in the coastal area of Valtaki–Trinasos in Laconia, a declared archaeological area. Basis: ΥΑ (ministerial decision, signed by the Minister of Culture alone) ΥΠΠΟ/ΑΡΧ/Α1/Φ43/36388/2322 of 30 July 1999 (ΦΕΚ 1607 Β΄/1999; the Coast Guard register misprints that date as 30-07-2009), listed on the Gytheio Port Authority's current prohibition register. The declaration names the places it covers — Agios Konstantinos, Selinitsa, Valtaki, Glossa Valtakiou and Mavromantilou, all in the prefecture of Laconia — and separately declares the three islets (Trinisa) opposite Mavromantilou bay; the protected features include a late-Roman tomb at Agios Konstantinos Selinitsas, Middle Palaeolithic karst deposits at Selinitsa, and extensive late-Roman and early-Christian building remains along the whole shore. NO MAP PIN: the area is delimited only on an attached 1:5,000 ΓΥΣ map sheet; the gazette publishes no latitude/longitude, and there is more than one «Βαλτάκι» in Greece, so a gazetteer pin would risk being flatly wrong.
