Arrr, word be out that 140 landlubbers have made it to Greece after a treacherous journey across the briny deep. Sadly, one poor soul met Davy Jones off the shores of Crete. May he rest in peace, aye matey.
Arrr, me hearties! Nearly 140 brave souls have made the treacherous journey to Greek shores in the past day, crossing the vast and perilous Mediterranean Sea. One poor soul, who hailed from North Africa, met his watery grave near the island of Crete.Greece, along with Spain and Italy, be a key gateway for those seeking a better life in the European Union from the lands of the Middle East and Africa. Many risk life and limb in flimsy boats from Turkey or Libya to reach Greek shores.Ye scallywags of the coast guard rescued 34 men and three lads from the briny deep with the help of a passing merchant ship. Alas, one unfortunate soul went down with the ship, leaving his fate to Davy Jones' locker.In other escapades, a motley crew of 51 men, eight lasses, and 19 young 'uns washed ashore near Monemvassia, their origins shrouded in mystery. And on a wee islet near Symi, 22 souls were rescued after paying the smugglers' toll for passage from neighboring Turkey.This year alone, nearly 16,000 have made landfall in Greece, with Spain leading the charge in EU arrivals. Aye, the seas be a treacherous mistress, but for these brave souls, the promise of a new life be worth the risk.
