Wave sweeps woman into sea

A German woman died Sunday when she was swept by a wave in the port of Kyparissia in western Peloponnese.

The 66-year-old woman was walking with her husband along the pier when a large wave swept her into the sea. Her body was found some 500 meters away.

Strong winds and large waves have hit the area all day Sunday.

The Kyparissia port authority is investigating the incident.
