However, an eyewitness of an eyewitness to the incident presented a different version, according to which the bathers helped the boat peel off to head to the port of the island.

Speaking to flashnews.gr, the man said:

“When the bathers saw the boat approaching the coast, we were telling them in English, not to land on the beach but to go to the port of Gavdos where the authorities receive immigrants where.

We called them “To the Port, to the Port”. After all, if they went down to Sarakiniko, it would take a long walk to reach the port.

They themselves immediately wanted to leave to go to the port, but because the boat was stuck in the sand, they helped three bathers, to peel off and to sail the boat to the port of Karave where it finally arrived. “

After all, as he told us, Frontex ships were also nearby.
