Authorities on the Greek island of Rhodes are actively searching for a missing British tourist, a 48-year-old man whose identity has not yet been disclosed. He was last seen by his niece while they were swimming at Theologos Beach. The niece reported him missing after leaving the beach and failing to locate him for several hours, prompting her to contact the police. Local police are collaborating with the coast guard and local boat owners to conduct a thorough investigation into the disappearance. This incident comes amid a troubling trend of disappearances in Greece this summer, raising concerns among tourists and locals alike. In a related case, the body of Dr. Michael Mosley, a well-known British doctor and columnist, was discovered in June after a prolonged search on the island of Symi. Dr. Mosley, who was 67, had been missing for several days before emergency workers found him in a rocky area near Agia Marina. His disappearance occurred during a period of extreme heat, which has also affected search efforts for other missing individuals. In addition to Dr. Mosley, authorities are currently searching for three other tourists who went missing during a severe heatwave that claimed at least five lives. Among them is Albert Calibet, a former sheriff's deputy last seen hiking on Amorgos, and two French nationals missing on the island of Sikinos. The ongoing searches highlight the dangers faced by tourists in the region during the summer months.
