British tourist's disappearance on Greek island sparks major search
A British tourist has been missing on the Greek island of Karpathos since Friday, with a search operation entering its fourth day on Tuesday.
The man's disappearance was reported by an accommodation owner on Saturday, and his rental car was subsequently found.
Rescue teams, including the fire department, police, and volunteers, are searching a remote and difficult terrain area of Tristomo in northern Karpathos.
Search efforts are complicated by rough terrain, with Karpathos experiencing high temperatures over the weekend and a yellow heat alert continuing.
The Foreign Office is providing support to the family of the missing British man and is in contact with local authorities.
