Note: This article is about Zakynthos, not Crete, but here is the summary as requested. Two British women were injured during a boat excursion off Zakynthos when strong waves caused their rental vessel to rock violently. Both sustained injuries as a result of the incident. Greek authorities made two arrests in connection with the event. If you are planning sea excursions anywhere in Greece, including Crete, check weather and sea conditions before departure, choose licensed operators with properly maintained vessels, and confirm that safety equipment is on board. Rough seas can develop quickly in the Aegean and Ionian, particularly in summer afternoons when winds pick up. Tourists are advised to follow crew instructions at all times and avoid standing or moving around the boat in choppy conditions.
