By land, air and sea, they continue for a third day at Samo the investigations for the 74-year-old Dutchman tourist who is ignored from Sunday afternoon.

The old man started for hiking in the area between Limniona and Klima – in the southwest of the island – and since then his traces have disappeared.

The elderly tourist was last seen in distress at “path 13“, to take one half an hour journey which goes to the monastery of Agios Ioannis.

Investigations continue in the wider area of ​​Limniona, Klima, Agia Kyriaki and Marathokambos

“A search operation has been launched by the police, the coast guard and the fire brigade,” a police official told Reuters, adding that the man had been living on the island since May.

The rescuers are “combing” the west of the island, but again it cannot be ruled out that there will not be areas left unexplored as it is a large area with difficult routes and paths that could disorient even locals.

Besides, as they typically say, the 74-year-old, a lover of routes, could have many different possibilities starting from Limnionas and be anywhere.
