Spearfishing in Greece

[olliric]

I hope out there somebody from Greece or somebody that speared there can "hear me".

On June 9 I will bareboat charter a sailing yacht in Athens for two weeks. I will do an Athens to Kos one way "down wind" and I have to choose the itinerary of the cruise.
I need some advice from somebody that knows the underwater wonders of the Cyclades Islands as well as the beauty above the water. I would like to choose the most interesting itinerary for spearfishing but also consider the rest of the crew interest in seeing the nicest islands. The crew is past the wild party mood/club scene and would probably appreciate natural beauty cultural attraction and less mass tourism settings.
I have two options:
Go towards Kos from Athens along the northern edge of the central island group (Kea, Yiaros, Syros, Tinos, Mikonos, Naxos) or choose the southern route (C, Sifnos, Paros, Milos, Naxos).
My usual operating range is 5 to 15 mtrs, longest ever aspetto 2:40. Weapons 850 Cyrano and Cayman HF 100 with various combinations of bands and spears for large game.
What fish can expect to encounter in June? I would like to dive some sea mounts/open water for pelagic as well as inshore.
I would appreciate any advice. I really need some information. I don't want to miss out on anything special.
I sailed and fished in Greece 12 years ago (Athens to Athens via Kea Kitnos Serifos Sifnos Hydra) and I was surprised to find more fish on the islands near the continent than in the Cyclades.
Do I need a license?
Thanks for your help
Cheers
