Greek coast guard and rescue services carried out multiple operations over the past 24 hours near the island of Gavdos and the southern coast of Crete, rescuing more than 200 migrants who were attempting to cross by sea. Gavdos, Greece's southernmost island and a popular off-the-beaten-path destination, sits along one of the active maritime migration routes from North Africa. Rescue operations in the area can occasionally affect ferry schedules or coast guard availability around Gavdos and the Sfakia region of southern Crete. Tourists visiting Gavdos or planning boat trips along the southern coast should monitor local announcements for any disruptions to ferry services. There is no direct safety risk to visitors. The situation reflects broader migration pressures across the Eastern Mediterranean and is being managed by Greek authorities.
