The coast guard says the seizure followed a tip-off. A coast guard launch located and pursued the 10-meter boat yesterday, but the only man on board managed to beach the craft and escape on foot near the town of Messolonghi.
A coast guard statement today said a total 920 kilograms of marijuana was found packaged on the speedboat.
It was unclear where the drugs had come from or where they were heading. Western Greece is on a major smuggling route for Albanian-grown marijuana headed for western Europe.
