Plakias

A 33-year-old German tourist was found dead Friday in a villa sauna in Rethymno, Crete, local outlet Zarpanews.gr reported.

Authorities are investigating, with initial reports suggesting the death may have resulted from a fall.

The man was staying with nine other tourists at the villa in Plakias. An autopsy will determine the exact cause of death.

We are in favor of the concert and any event for the victims of the Tempi tragedy, but we are against the ticket, said Dmitris Plakias, who lost his daughter and twin nieces in the accident.

Crete is the largest island in Greece and its coastline of 1,046 km or 650 miles makes for some extraordinary beaches. With crystal clear waters and sand in a variety of colors, Crete’s beaches are unforgettable – in fact, this year of the 486 Blue Flag awarded beaches in Greece, 112 of the eco-labeled beaches are located on Crete!
