Six holidaymakers reported dead or missing in nine days as Mediterranean experiences ‘abnormally hot’ weather
Search operations to find three missing tourists on two Greek islands have intensified after police announced that two holidaymakers had been found dead on other islands over the weekend.
“We’ve been out all morning searching,” Marakis said. “Volunteers have arrived from Santorini, firefighters, the police, a specially trained dog have all been looking, but the terrain is rocky and full of ravines. The effort has been huge, but the area where they disappeared is difficult and, sadly, we still haven’t found them.”
On Amorgos, the eastern-most island in the Cyclades chain, the search for a retired Los Angeles police officer, Albert Calibet, continued for a sixth day on Monday, without success.
