Back to newsGreek Coast Guard rescued 35 migrants from a vessel in distress southeast of Gavdos, the small island located about 45 kilometers south of the Sfakia coast in southern Crete. Gavdos is the southernmost point of Europe and a popular destination for visitors seeking remote beaches and a quiet atmosphere, accessible by ferry from Paleochora or Sfakia. This type of rescue operation is handled entirely by authorities and has no direct impact on tourist travel to or from the island. Ferry services to Gavdos continue to operate on their regular schedule. Travelers planning to visit Gavdos should book ferry tickets in advance during summer months, as capacity is limited and demand is high.
