[MichPaule]

Another tourist ignoring all all warnings and causing a huge rescue operation.

Hope he was not one of us!
It is a mystery for me how he managed to reach Psiristra from Agia Roumeli with only one bottle of water.
In this heat wave I would have collapsed much sooner!

I saw the helicopter and suspected something bad. Always German

Very stupid action. This is certainly the result of overestimation and ignorance. But i’m sure he didn't want to put himself and the rescue in this trouble. Hope he comes back home healthy.

Moin, die lokalen Medien in Kreta haben ausführlich darüber berichtet.

Zum Abtransport für den Wanderer aus Deuschland kam ein Hubschrauber aus Athen zum Einsatz, der den Wanderer in ein Krankenhaus nach Chania geflogen hat.

If persons are warning you, it is forbidden at the same time - and if you ignore all this, stupid is certainly the correct word. The Samaria gorge would have been the correct choice - shade and water available, and nevertheless several hundred height-meters.

May be some people take the yellow line (green on the Anavasi map) as a hiking trail? https://www.samaria.gr/wp-content/uploa ... AGLIKA.pdf

Hi Gerd,

no, I don't think so. They take the track which is shown in OSM etc. That is in principle OK but not under these circumstances.

Best wishes
