Greek coast guard and rescue authorities recovered 132 migrants from waters south of Crete in a recent operation. The rescue took place in the Mediterranean Sea off the southern coastline of the island, a known maritime route used by people attempting to reach Europe. Greek authorities coordinated the response, bringing those rescued safely to shore. This type of operation is handled by official services and does not directly affect tourist activity on the island. Visitors to Crete should be aware that southern coastal areas occasionally see increased maritime authority presence during such operations. Beach access and ferry services on established tourist routes remain unaffected. If you witness anyone in distress at sea, contact the Greek Coast Guard immediately by calling 108.
