Two separate deaths were reported within hours on Saturday in two northern Greece beaches, with the victims being a 48-year-old man and 65-year-old man, respectively.
The first incident was reported at a beach in Perea, east of the city of Thessaloniki, while the other was at the Sarti beach in Halkidiki prefecture.
The first incident involves a Romanian national who apparently suffered a medical condition after diving into the waters at the first beach. First aid was administered by other beachgoers, while paramedics continued resuscitation efforts en route to a local hospital. He died while in emergency care.
The second incident in Halkidiki involved a Hungarian tourist, 65, who also lost consciousness in the water. The man was also transferred by ambulance to a nearby health center, where his death was confirmed.
