Cyrtophora citricola
Cyrtophora citricola, also known as the Tropical Tent-Web Spider, is an araneid spider that occurs in the warmer parts of Europe, Asia and Africa, but also in Australia, Costa Rica, Hispaniola and Colombia (wiki). This female was spotted in Nea Dimitrias suburb, Volos city, Greece, but it's common in countryside too. Fellow spotter @Marval, gave the correct ID. Thank you!

Dear @Manval, you're wonderful, that's the species! It seems it's pretty common around my area, because I saw several today!
Thank you so much for the ID :)
Hi Despina
It's Cyrtophora citricola family Araneidae.
(I'm sorry problems with jaba...)
