Hello from Greece from what you say i would suggest that you should find a dive buddy and pick an island 3-4 hours near Athens where i suspect you will be landing there are many islands you can pick and to most of them have daily transportation from Piraeus harbor and that's for saving time and money.Secondly you should look for a relatively small one that you can cross it fairly quick with car or even scooter in case the places you find don't satisfy you,and look for shores with rocky sea bed once you wont be diving deep due to being beginner. The gun you will be needing should be at max 85cm with 2 pair of rubbers and wet suit max 5 mm and its also good having some good fins that won't be too hard on your feet cause you will have lots of swimming to do.You should have a boy or else you will have troubles with the coast guard and it would be a good idea getting a torch.As for the catch don't expect something big mainly small fish to medium size and those are quite frightened the visibility is quite good and the weather should be ok .Have fun
