Cliff Diving on Greek Islands, Greece

On the dramatic cliff-lined islands of Greece, such as Zakynthos and Santorini, a lethal combination of natural beauty and party culture leads to tragedy. Intoxicated tourists, caught up in the vibrant atmosphere, often attempt daring jumps from significant heights into the alluring turquoise waters below. These impulsive leaps frequently involve a critical misjudgment of the depth or a failure to see submerged rocks. The result is often a fatal impact upon entry or incapacitating injury leading to drowning. With no safety checks or lifeguards at these remote cliff sites, what begins as a moment of thrill-seeking can end in instant death.
