Greece is driving me nuts
Tried to get some info about metaldetecting in Greece. Next week I'll be on vacation at a greek island -Lesvos- for a week. First the internet: it's allowed, its not allowed, its allowed, its not allowed. Who's right
 ?Then I asked at a local greek restaurant to call the Lesvos island police, answer:... it's not allowed! Then I've got a mail from a greek (Opel GT-)forum member. He also called for me to the same policestation on Lesvos. Guess what: they told him it's allowed on the beach....  Soon they're coming to take me away with their clean white shirts. It's called insanity I believe. I still have 5 days to find out who's right. But the greek police are no softies, you go to jail for some years when you search on the wrong place, they told. Who's they? All the people who say: its allowed, its not allowed, its allowed, its not allowed... Anyone has experience with Greece?

In general, metal detecting is banned throughout Greece. However, most police turn a blind eye to beach detecting as long as the beach does not join a known archaeological site. If you did find something of archaeological interest then do not attempt to take it out of the country. It is also best to introduce yourself to the local police and get their blessing before starting. If you upset them then you will lose your detector and have the pleasure of a few nights in a Greek jail.

Further to my previous reply I have just spoken to a Greek friend and he told me that Greeks can get away with beach detecting but foreigners will end up in jail.
