Hi,
I found this queen on a shore of European Mediterraean, in the beggining of September, around 11:00.
I has beautiful red head and it ran away after those few photos. Could you tell what it could be?

looks like crematogaster scutellaris
I second Crematogaster scutellaris, I also checked on ant maps and it says that they live in the area of the Mediterranean
Currently keeping:
1x Formica subsericea, 35-40 workers + BIG brood pile + 10 pupa.
1x Crematogaster cerasi, 1 workers + finally some bigger brood (The worker that was dying died 
)
1x Myrmica ruba sp around 10 workers
*New* 1x founding Camponotus pennsylvanicus + eggs that die (probably infertile)
*New* 2x Camponotus nova, one is infertile
*As you watch your ants march, remember that every thing begins with a small step and continued by diligence and shared dreams*

one should still err on the side of caution because this could also be schmidti

Sorry, I am not good with the species in Europe, so I will just say that it is in the scutellaris group

Recent Antmaps records are showing that C. scutellaris has been flying in that region like crazy; especially in Spain, meaning that they are likely flying across and within other countries close by. This means that your original guess (supported by like 20+ other ant keepers on Antmaps) is more likely correct.one should still err on the side of caution because this could also be schmidtiI second Crematogaster scutellaris, I also checked on ant maps and it says that they live in the area of the Mediterraneanlooks like crematogaster scutellaris
Keeping:
1x - S. molesta REBOOT (founding) 1x - C. pennsylvanicus (founding) 
New!
2x - C. chromaiodes (founding queen and colony)
1x - T. sessile (mega colony)
1x - C. nearcticus (alate ==> founding?)
