Vacationers in Greece are facing a nightmare summer. Drowning incidents are on the rise, and lifeguards are on high alert.

Nikos Giovanidis, Director of the Greek Lifeguard Academy, reported that 137 people have drowned this year. This alarming situation threatens the safety of vacationers, especially on crowded beaches.

It has been reported that 51 of the deceased were foreign nationals. Lifeguards emphasize that most drownings occur close to the shore.

Those planning to vacation in Greece are urged to pay attention to safety measures. Lifeguards warn that cell phones are a distracting factor.

These incidents in Greece not only threaten the safety of vacationers but also raise concerns about the situation of migrants. Greek coast guard units continue their rescue efforts for migrants pushed into Turkish waters.
