Морской лук / Sea Squill (UrgineaMaritima) -

The Sea Squill (Urginea Maritima or Charybdis maritima) is a common autumn flower which despite its name is found all the way from sea level to mountain zones in phrygana, forests and olive groves.

The tall (sometimes well over a meter) flower sprouts from a large bulb. The tall fleshy leaves grow out of the bulb in the winter (see the 4th photo from the top) but dry out in the spring. By the time the flower comes out they have completely disappeared.
