Epanomi is one of the most frequented tourist destinations in Greece. This small town near Thessaloniki boasts miles of sandy beaches and is also a paradise for diving enthusiasts.

The main attraction is the shipwreck, which is located near the coast. Diving sessions offering the opportunity to explore the wreck's interior are held there. One such event ended tragically.

Greece. Death on holiday. 33-year-old dies

Greek authorities have announced the death of a 33-year-old tourist from the United Kingdom who was on board the abandoned wreck. They report that the diver was present when the weather conditions significantly worsened. The rough sea abruptly hindered the man's return to the shore.

Although a rescue boat and an ambulance were immediately called to the scene, another swimmer pulled the 33-year-old from the water. The unconscious diver was resuscitated at the scene, but the rescue efforts were unsuccessful, reports greekcitytimes.com.

The port authority in the town of Michaniona is investigating the tragic accident involving a tourist. Meanwhile, the prosecution is awaiting the results of the autopsy that will be carried out.
