Greek emergency services have located one of the three people missing persons in the area of Mantoudi, on the island of Evia, following the floods caused by the powerful tropical-type storm that pounded the country over the weekend.
The 27 year-old was spotted on Monday as he was stranded on a rock in the middle of a river, unable to reach the bank due to the torrent.
Emergency crews say he has been transferred to a local hospital for first aid treatment and his life is not in danger.

A search is still ongoing for a middle-aged couple gone missing in the area since Sunday.
The General Secretariat for Civil Protection on Sunday declared several municipalities in mainland Greece to be in a state of emergency after the storm caused widespread damage.
The storm, dubbed Zorbas, swept into the Peloponnese on Saturday morning, bringing winds of 90 kilometers per hour, heavy rain and 8-meter waves.
The storm moved into central Greece and Evia on Sunday.
