Two Turkish asylum seekers fell with a glider in the sea near Karystos, Euboea island, in central Greece on Saturday.
At the time of writing, the two men were being held at the Karystos Coast Guard station.
Following their rescue from the glider fall, they were admitted to hospital by the Hellenic Coast Guard authorities, where they underwent the necessary medical checks and were found to be in good health.
They reportedly told the Coast Guards that they were Turkish policemen intending to seek asylum in Greece.
The Hellenic Police was also called to the scene to investigate further.
