Is it allowed to own/use a telescope at home, in my balcony, in Greece (Athens to be precise)

  1. After a quick google search I didn’t find anything stating that it is illegal.
    Although be careful when you are using it as to not disturb your neighbours etc and to use it only for observing the stars and not stalking someone because then it will be a problem.

  2. Νo it’s dangerous put it down put it down . /s

    If there is a poster saying telescopes are prohibited in this building (there’s no way that you going to find any) then it’s not allowed

  3. Not illegal. With 250 days of sunshine (and corresponding clear nights) a year it’s almost obligatory.

    Light pollution in Athens is pretty bad, but you will still be able to do some planetary observations. There is a fairly active[ online community](https://www.astrovox.gr/) that also organizes events/trips (or used to, back in the day).
