A series of maritime fires involving passenger vessels has occurred in Greek waters.

In September, a fire broke out on an Italian-flagged vessel in the northern channel of Lefkada. Three foreign passengers escaped by jumping into the sea and were reported to be in good health following rescue efforts by the Coast Guard and local emergency services.

In October, a second incident occurred in the maritime area of Ellinika, northern Euboea, where a sailboat caught fire. Two foreign passengers were rescued using a life raft and the assistance of a private vessel. The Hellenic Coast Guard and several other ships participated in the rescue, and the passengers were reported to be in good health.
