Greek Coast Guard authorities rescued 96 foreign nationals from two inflatable boats in the waters south of Kalos Limenes, a small village on the southern coast of Crete. The operation involved collecting all individuals safely from the vessels. Kalos Limenes, known historically as Fair Havens and mentioned in the Bible as a stopping point for the Apostle Paul, is located on the Libyan Sea coastline in the Heraklion regional unit. This type of maritime rescue operation is not uncommon in southern Cretan waters, which serve as an arrival point for migrants crossing from North Africa. The incident had no reported impact on tourist activities or local beaches in the area. Visitors traveling along the southern coast road near Moires or Matala should expect normal traffic conditions.
