US tourist Albert Calibet has been missing for several days on the Greek island of Amorgos, sparking a desperate search by local authorities and volunteers.
Calibet, 45, was last seen on Monday afternoon near the village of Chora, where he was staying at a local guesthouse. He had told friends that he was going for a hike in the nearby mountains, but failed to return by nightfall.
Concerned friends and family members contacted the local authorities, who immediately launched a search and rescue operation. The rugged terrain and dense vegetation on the island have made the search difficult, with rescue teams scouring the area on foot and by helicopter.
Calibet’s disappearance has left his loved ones in a state of anguish and uncertainty. His wife, Sarah, who has flown from the US to join the search efforts, described him as an experienced hiker and outdoorsman who would never wander off without informing someone.
“We are all extremely worried about Albert’s safety and well-being,” she said. “We are doing everything we can to find him and bring him home.”
Local residents and volunteers have also joined the search, combing the mountains and cliffs for any sign of Calibet. The community has rallied together in a show of solidarity and support for the missing tourist and his family.
The Greek authorities have urged anyone with information about Calibet’s whereabouts to come forward and assist in the search efforts. They have also asked hikers and tourists on the island to be vigilant and report any sightings or clues that could help locate him.
As the search for Albert Calibet continues, his family and friends remain hopeful for his safe return. They are holding onto the belief that he is out there somewhere, waiting to be found and reunited with his loved ones.
In the meantime, the island of Amorgos is united in its efforts to bring Calibet back home and ensure that he is safe and sound. The community’s unwavering determination and compassion serve as a testament to the strength of human solidarity in times of crisis.
