The most common Falling Rock Signs in Greece are limited to that country and its many isles. It is rather peculiar. The bottom two thirds of the wall are hollow with a dent at the center. Near the top of the cliff is a weird knob which looks like a women's breast.

The boulder count is five: one isolated above the breast and the rest below. The shape and the position of the stones is largely free.
The find from Delfi features a supplementary rock on the ground. It's one of those very rare designs (e.g. Pakistan) where impact is suggested.

But, wait a second. Couldn't that be a snail hurrying away? That would explain why the spot manages to stay in place when the panel is mounted wrong corner up like in Rentina.

The Esimi drawing is also a local endemic which is clearly inspired by the Delfi style but characterized by four boulders only and more fluid lines. The Hosios Loukas find is a copy of a design already found in Iceland. The Evros design was earlier found in Slovakia. The difference with Italy is that the drawing there fills the canvas.

I'm not happy with the new arrivals. We all know how it goes with the introduction of aliens. Say Good Bye to the endemics.
