A Dutch woman has been missing on Greece’s island of Samos since Thursday, local authorities said.
The 65-year-old Dutch woman went missing yesterday after going on a hike.
According to local media Samos Voice, the woman told a friend that she would like to go around the Tunnel of Eupalinos, also known as the Eupalinian Aqueduct to walk around it and then return to Pythagoreio, where she was staying in a hotel.
A rescue team from the Greek police, the local Fire Brigade and volunteers began their search after that friend informed the authorities that the Dutch woman was not answering her calls, had switched her phone off and did not return after the hike.
Earlier in June, a 74-year-old Dutch man had been missing, when he disappeared while hiking between the areas of Limnionas and Klima, in the southwest of Samos.
Unfortunately, he was later found dead.
