In a series of unsettling incidents, several tourists have been found dead or gone missing on the idyllic Greek islands. The most recent tragedy unfolded near the island of Corfu, where an American tourist was discovered lifeless in the sea near the old port of Mathraki on Sunday, as reported by local media.

The American tourist had been reported missing on Thursday after he was last seen alive on Tuesday at a café in the company of two female tourists who have since left the island. The victim had been vacationing in Mathraki with a Greek-American friend, details of whom were not made available immediately.

This incident marks the third death in recent days on the Greek islands, further raising concerns about tourist safety. British TV anchor and author, Dr. Michael Mosley, was found dead on the island of Symi last Sunday. The coroner's report indicated that he had passed away on Wednesday while hiking in challenging, rocky terrain. Additionally, a missing Dutch tourist, aged 74, was discovered deceased on the eastern island of Samos early Saturday. His body was located by a Fire Service drone, lying face down in a ravine, not far from where he was last seen walking in extreme heat.

As investigations into these cases continue, authorities are still searching for three more missing individuals, including an American, across various Greek islands. Albert Calibet, a 59-year-old retired Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy from Hermosa Beach, California, has been reported missing since Tuesday after going on a solo hike in scorching conditions on the island of Amorgos. The U.S. State Department has stated that it is aware of Calibet's disappearance and will collaborate closely with local authorities in their search efforts.

Furthermore, two French tourists have recently been reported missing on the secluded Cyclades island of Sikinos, which is home to less than 400 permanent residents.

These unsettling incidents have prompted concerns about the safety and security of tourists visiting the Greek islands. It is hoped that authorities will intensify their efforts to ensure the wellbeing of visitors and provide clarity on the circumstances surrounding these tragic events.
