Angeln Griechenland

Fishing in Greece

Greece, with its long coastline and countless islands, has some of the greatest potential for big fish from the shore in the Mediterranean. The islands in the Peloponnese in particular offer spinning anglers without a boat the chance to catch fish weighing over 10 kilograms. At the right time of year, large sea bass, amberjack and bluefish are on the move. There is also plenty to be had offshore: in the fall, large bluefin tuna move along the coast and in the spring, dentex and grouper can be caught while jigging.

Recommended months: March/April/September/October

Best fishing spots: 

1. Crete

The coastal stretches of Crete offer numerous rocky areas that are ideal for shore jigging. The best spots are the port of Souda and the north coast. Barracuda can be caught all along the coast in the evening. 
 

2. Peloponnese

There are many interesting structures in the Peloponnese. The rocky coastal sections near Nafplio are ideal for shore jigging. Here you can catch various predatory fish such as grouper and dentex.
 

3. Rhodes

The island of Rhodes offers numerous bays and rocky coastal sections that are ideal for jigging. In the fall, mahi mahis move inland along some stretches of coastline.
 

4. Chalkidiki

The three peninsulas of Halkidiki offer numerous stretches of coastline that are ideal for shore jigging. There are still good stocks of gold blotch groupers here.
 

5. Corfu

The coasts of Corfu offer numerous opportunities for jigging. Especially in the channel between Corfu and the neighboring island of Paxos, large amberjacks move around in the winter months.
