Missing persons search operations in Greece

Overview

Search and rescue operations have been conducted in different regions of Greece following the disappearance of individuals.

In October, authorities launched a search in the Tersana coastal area of Chania, Crete, for a 22-year-old Indian national who disappeared while swimming. The operation involved the Hellenic Coast Guard, private vessels, and land-based teams, though adverse weather conditions reportedly hindered efforts.

In November, a separate operation was initiated in the Corinthian Gulf near Perachora, Corinthia, for a missing 26-year-old diver. This search involved the Hellenic Coast Guard, the Hellenic Police, an Air Force helicopter, and specialized units using drones to scan the sea, coastline, and forested areas.
