Greek Coast Guard rescued 34 migrants south of Gavdos, the small island located approximately 50 kilometers south of the Crete's Sfakia coastline, as irregular arrivals to the region continue. A 17-year-old individual was also arrested in connection with the incident. Gavdos is a popular destination for visitors seeking remote beaches and a quiet escape from the busier parts of Crete. Coast Guard operations in the southern Aegean are routine and ongoing. Tourists traveling by ferry or private boat to Gavdos may occasionally encounter increased Coast Guard presence in the area, but normal visitor access to the island remains unaffected. No safety concerns for tourists have been reported in connection with these events.
