Locals and tourists on the Greek island of Mykonos came across a strange scene, when a luxury yacht started sinking in the island’s crystal clear waters.
The boat was located between Mykonos’ most famous beaches Psarou and Platis Gialos, both of which attract a large number of tourists and locals on a daily basis. When the boat started sinking, people were upset and immediately alerted the port authority, while snapping photos and taking videos with their mobile phones.
According to local media, all passengers were safely transferred to shore and no one was injured during the incident. However, authorities have yet to determine what caused the yacht to sink.
Video footage released by Mykonos LiveTV shows the yacht sinking and several people attempting to approach it with their boats. Port authority officers arrived a little later and have been trying to determine what caused the incident.
