Friday, 1 May 2026/CretaOne/1 
A 27-year-old tourist was injured aboard a vessel at Alimos Marina in Greece. Emergency services were immediately notified and an EKAB ambulance responded to the scene. The incident serves as a reminder for visitors participating in boat trips or water activities to follow all onboard safety instructions, wear life jackets when required, and choose licensed, reputable operators. Accidents on recreational vessels, while uncommon, can occur when passengers move around during navigation or when seas are choppy. Tourists planning boat excursions around Crete and the surrounding islands should verify that vessels carry proper safety equipment, confirm the operator holds valid permits, and avoid standing or moving on deck while the boat is underway.
