Back to newsThe Greek Coast Guard rescued 59 migrants north of Kalos Limenes, a small coastal village on the southern shore of Crete in the Heraklion regional unit. The rescue operation was carried out at sea, with all individuals brought safely to shore. Kalos Limenes is a quiet, remote area along Crete's south coast, primarily known for its fishing harbor and as the site where the apostle Paul reportedly sheltered during his journey to Rome. The rescue operation involved coast guard vessels in the area. This type of maritime rescue activity is routine in Greek waters and does not affect tourist access to beaches or roads in the region. Visitors traveling along the southern coast road should expect no disruptions to normal travel.
