A 71-year-old Belgian hiker had a fortunate ending to the adventure he experienced in Eastern Selino.
Based on our information, the 71-year-old started with his wife from Sougia to go to ancient Lissos. However, during the journey, his wife decided to stop the walk and return to Sougia, while the 71-year-old continued on to Lissos.
On his way back, he lost his orientation and got lost in a rugged area, injuring his leg in the process. A rescue operation was immediately launched to locate him, but communication was lost with the 71-year-old during the night, intensifying the anxiety.
Finally, early this morning, rescuers located him on a difficult trail. The location was so challenging to approach that a maritime rescue operation was conducted. The 71-year-old was transported to Sougia, where an ambulance awaited to transfer him to the hospital.
