Flying a drone in Greece is subject to the rules of the HCAA (Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority, known locally as YPA). Before every flight, check whether the area is prohibited, restricted or free.

1. Checking zones on the DAGR map

The official map is DAGR (Drone Aware GR) by HASP, at dagr.hasp.gov.gr. Zones are shown in colours: red for prohibited, yellow for restricted and green for free.

2. Applying to the HCAA where required

For flights in a restricted zone or in an area that requires authorisation, submit an application to the HCAA via ypa.gr. Define the flight area on DAGR by drawing a circle or polygon of up to 1,000 × 1,000 metres, and copy the coordinates into the application. If the area is military (MIL), the lead time increases from 3 to 5 working days.

3. DJI zones

DJI drones have a geo-awareness system that restricts flight in certain areas. Unlocking follows the rules of DJI and the HCAA. If you need help, contact us at the shop.

4. Drone identification (Remote ID)

Newer DJI models broadcast Remote ID through a firmware update. Make sure your drone is up to date.
