Recreational spearfishing (ψαροτούφεκο / υποβρύχια ερασιτεχνική αλιεία) is legal in Greece for personal recreation only (sale of catch is forbidden), but is tightly regulated by Presidential Decree 373/1985 (as amended). Only freediving with breath-hold is allowed: any form of compressed-air diving apparatus (SCUBA, hookah) is banned, as are pneumatic/explosive-propelled spearguns, underwater lights, nets and night fishing. Spearfishing is prohibited every May, after sunset to sunrise, for persons under 16, and within 200 m of swimmers, harbour works, navigational marks, vessels, anchored ships and marked nets, and in vessel transit lanes and harbour entrances/exits. A daily catch cap of 5 kg per person applies (one single fish above this weight is exempt; only one grouper/Epinephelus per day). A diver-down buoy with a yellow flag bearing a red diagonal stripe and the letters 'Υ.Δ.' is mandatory, and the diver must stay within 50 m of it. No special spearfishing licence is required since the old paper permit system was abolished (Law 4256/2014), but from 10 January 2026 the revised EU Fisheries Control Regulation requires recreational marine fishers (including spearfishers) to register and report daily catches of certain conservation-managed species via the national electronic system. Additional area bans apply inside marine protected areas (e.g. the National Marine Park of Alonissos Northern Sporades core zone) and military zones.

Khu vực được phép
Spearfishing by breath-hold freediving is permitted along most of the Greek coastline and around the islands, subject to the PD 373/1985 distance rules (>=200 m from swimmers, harbour works, vessels, anchored ships and marked nets; not in vessel transit lanes or harbour entrances), the May and night closures, and the diver-down buoy requirement.

The strictly protected core zone (Zone A, centred on Piperi) bars general access and fishing; spearfishing is not permitted in the protected core. Commercial fishing in the wider park is restricted to coastal vessels with nets/longlines/traps.
- Harbours, harbour entrances/exits, anchorages and vessel transit lanesoperational/port exclusion zone
Spearfishing is prohibited within harbour areas, their entrances and exits, anchorages and marine vessel transit lanes, and within 200 m of harbour works, navigational marks, vessels, anchored ships and marked fishing nets (PD 373/1985, Art. 3 para. 1d-e).

Spearfishing is prohibited within 200 m of points where bathers usually swim (PD 373/1985, Art. 3 para. 1d(1)).

Ghi chú của người nghiên cứu
Primary legal source is the codified Presidential Decree 373/1985 obtained verbatim from the official Hellenic Coast Guard fisheries portal (alieia.hcg.gr); all law_texts entries are exact Greek excerpts from that document (Articles 1, 2 and 3). Key points: spearfishing is freediving-only (scuba/air apparatus and pneumatic-explosive spearguns banned); prohibited every May and at night; minimum age 16; 200 m buffers from swimmers/harbours/vessels/nets; mandatory yellow 'Υ.Δ.' diver-down buoy with 50 m radius; 5 kg/day catch cap and only one grouper/day; sale of catch banned. The old recreational permit fee regime (PD 373/85 Art. 6) was repealed by Law 4256/2014, so no spearfishing licence is needed; however from 10 January 2026 the revised EU Fisheries Control Regulation requires recreational marine fishers (explicitly including underwater/spear fishing) in all EU coastal states, Greece included, to register and report daily catches of certain conservation-managed species via the national electronic system - verify current Greek implementation before fishing. Area bans apply in marine protected areas (notably the Alonissos Northern Sporades National Marine Park core zone, centred on Piperi; coordinates are approximate park-centroid values) and military zones; the Natura 2000 entry coordinates are intentionally omitted as they cover many sites. data_confidence is high for the national PD 373/1985 provisions (official primary source) but the precise list and minimum sizes of all protected/regulated species, and the exact current 2026 Greek e-reporting workflow, should be re-checked against the General Directorate of Fisheries before relying on them operationally.
