Briton found dead in Spetses
Holidays in Greece and other southern European countries remain cheaper than rival summer destinations internationally, despite the fact that their costs have risen, with tourists preferring the region, Allianz Research noted in a report. Therefore these countries remain the top choice for European travelers, it noted. However, the report added that countries such as Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal, which are highly dependent on tourism from abroad, will need to invest more in the future if they are to maintain their attractiveness.
A 44-year-old British national was found dead at the old port of Spetses on Friday morning, state-run news agency AMNA reported.
Authorities said he had sustained injuries on the left side of his head and an autopsy has been ordered to determine the cause of death. His body will be transferred to Piraeus this afternoon.
The man was a crew member of a sailing boat participating in the Classic Regatta that is in progress on the island. It was unclear where the body was found with some media reports saying it was spotted by the crew of a passing sailboat, who informed the port authorities.
