The long fur on its back is dark brown at the base and golden at the tips. Its underside is mostly pale, and its ears are short, broad, and black.
A review of bat studies and records in Greece lists Savi’s Pipistrelle on the mainland and on 25 Aegean and Ionian islands. Records from separate islands help build a picture of its regional distribution.
Small colonies or single bats were recorded at 13 daytime roost sites, mostly in buildings, bridges and rock fissures. At 44 additional sites, bats were captured entering or leaving caves, disused mines and other places; the review did not determine how they used those sites.
Foraging records came from woodland, low vegetation and cultivated landscapes. Combining roost and feeding records shows how the bat uses different parts of the Greek landscape.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
The Greek review listed 13 recorded day roosts and 44 additional places considered potential roosts.
