Amateur astronomy in Greece is active but amongst a relatively small number of dedicated individuals and a handful of societies which number in the low teens. A concerted effort is underway by some of the more experienced members of the amateur community to promote amateur astronomy in the land of Eudoxus, Aristarchus of Samos, Eratosthenes, Hipparchus of Rhodes, Poseidonius and Claudius Ptolemeus so as to lay the foundation for the growth of this hobby in a country not only rich in history for astronomy but one characterized with excellent weather, transparency and seeing as well as relatively very little light pollution.

If you are aware of any additional societies in Greece whose emphasis is the coordination of amateur astronomy activities in Greece, you are kindly requested to send me email. I also encourage you to join other fellow amateurs in Greece by subscribing to the online discussion groups AstroVox and/or AstroForum.
