Greece has the richest reptile fauna in Europe. Thanks to its unique geographical position, it hosts species of African, Asian, and European origin, as well as many endemic (exclusively Greek) species, such as the Milos viper or the Moorish gecko.

This book presents for the first time all the amphibians and reptiles of Greece, with biological data, distribution maps, and explanatory illustrations for each species.

What kind of lizard did we see in Skyros? And that one from Rhodes? Why is the Carpathian salamander so unique? Do we have chameleons in Greece? Where does the gecko that strolls on our terraces in the summer hide? Are there frogs with red bellies? Are there boas in Greece? What do we do if we are bitten by a venomous snake? And, indeed, what are the venomous snakes of our homeland?

This volume aims to answer related questions from people who love and live the Greek nature.
