6.200-acre Εξωτερικες Ακτες Καλδερας Σαντορινης. North Greece coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Greek hydrographic and HCMR survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Greek WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Central and Southern Aegean. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 795 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Εξωτερικες Ακτες Καλδερας Σαντορινης - North draws 6,200 acres inside 18.7 miles of shoreline. Index 1.7 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 7% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 8.2 mi end to end and 1.8 mi across at its widest. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Εξωτερικες Ακτες Καλδερας Σαντορινης - North West, 6 mi west of here.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

In spring, european seabass run shallow here, mostly 3 to 25 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 55 ft. Shoreline point is the standout, a point at roughly 12 ft, rated good for fall european seabass. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (12 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (12 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (12 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Early season gilthead seabream use the shallows, holding in 3 to 35 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 45 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 100 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Spring puts common dentex in skinny water — 20 to 130 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 30 to 180 ft; cold water stacks them in 60 to 260 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 275 ft, rated good for winter common dentex. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

When the water first warms, red mullet slide up into 5 to 55 ft. By summer they slide out to 4 to 70 ft, and by winter most fish are in 30 to 140 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

In spring, atlantic bonito run shallow here, mostly 15 to 100 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 90 ft, and they winter in 50 to 220 ft. Summer atlantic bonito concentrate at Shoreline point, a prime-rated point around 12 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Come spring, look for greater amberjack tight to the bank in 30 to 180 ft. They move out to 20 to 220 ft in summer and finish the year down in 70 to 300 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 275 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Hellenic Coast Guard official ports review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Greece waters are set by the Greek Government fisheries services — and special regulations can apply to Εξωτερικες Ακτες Καλδερας Σαντορινης - North specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Greece's current national, EU, port and protected-area rules before every coastal trip. Although individual recreational sea-fishing licences were abolished, method restrictions, minimum sizes, daily limits, protected species, seasonal measures, marine parks, fisheries restricted areas, swimming zones and harbour directions still apply. Regional or island-specific controls may change independently. A WFD polygon, source-audited contour, fishing spot or port reference never grants fishing, retention, shoreline entry, parking, launching or safe-navigation permission.

Εξωτερικες Ακτες Καλδερας Σαντορινης - North is about 795 ft (242 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Official coastal monitoring from Greece national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european seabass, gilthead seabream, common dentex, red mullet, atlantic bonito, greater amberjack, bluefish, common sole roster for Εξωτερικες Ακτες Καλδερας Σαντορινης - North. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Shoreline point is the top-rated area: a point in about 12 ft of water that rates prime for atlantic bonito in summer. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For european seabass, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
