A 38-year-old climber fell to his death on Tuesday morning while attempting to cross a canyon in southern Crete.

The man, a Greek national, was among a group of climbers exploring Agiofarango when he fell onto the rocks below from a great height, local media reported.

It was not clear what caused the man’s fall.

He was evacuated with a private boat and taken to Mira Health Center where doctors could only confirm his death.
