Feb 22, 2026

Athens [Greece], February 22: At least three people have died in a boat accident off the Mediterranean island of Crete.
The victims are believed to be migrants who were trying to reach Crete - and thus the EU - from Libya.
The Greek broadcaster ERTNews reported on Saturday that 20 people were rescued. According to the Cretan news portal ekriti.gr, dozens more are missing. Greek radio reported that several ships are taking part in the search. The accident occurred around 15 nautical miles (almost 28 kilometres) south of Kaloi Limenes in the south of the popular tourist island, local media reported, citing coastguard sources.
