The incident follows another recreational boating accident in Greece last month, when a rented tourist boat carrying four people capsized off Sithonia in Halkidiki. The four passengers were rescued unharmed after the vessel overturned near Ampelitsi islet. The partially submerged boat was subsequently towed away.
