Can't tell for sure, but they look like common water spots/marks. In case they are, they can be removed with detailing clay if they haven't been there for ages.
Or you can try some paint cleaner, polish or abrasive. OR you can take the car to a detailer who takes car of them (and the whole car).

On the other hand, they can be something from the trees also, but I think same methods are the easiest way to remove them.

edit: Water spot

Well, I don't know which products are the easiest to get in Greece, but Zaino is a well known product.

1) Clay:
Z-18 ClayBar
You will need a lubricant with this. A spray bottle filled with water/car shampoo dilution for example. And wash your car beforehand if using a detailing clay.

2) Zaino has a good all-in-one product Zaino AIO (cleaner, polish and protectant), which could suite you also:
Z-AIO

3) Or if you need something more abrasive, maybe this:
Z-PC

I am not very familiar with Zaino, and maybe other members can tell more about it. On the other hand, you could use AutoGlym products too, which are quite popular in Europe overall (which I know better too).

I'd try these product in following order:
1) Super Resin Polish

2) Intensive Tar Remover (locally used)

3) Paint Renovator (locally used)
