A British holidaymaker has died after jumping from a boat during a turtle-spotting excursion off the Greek island of Zante (Zakynthos). The incident occurred during what should have been a routine tourist activity, adding to a string of recent deaths and medical emergencies involving British travellers in Greece that have drawn attention to holidaymaker safety in the region.

Details of the exact circumstances, the victim's identity and the response from local authorities were not fully specified in the available report. Zante's turtle-watching boat trips, popular with British tourists, typically involve passengers entering the sea to view loggerhead turtles at close range.
