Hellenic Navy Vessel Patrols The Greek Turkish Borders

A Greek patrol ship of the Hellenic Navy is patrolling the Aegean Sea water borders between Greece and Turkey, just outside Kos Island with Turkey in the background with summer houses, resorts and hotels visible. Patrols are for military purposes but also for boats with refugees and migrants in addition to the FRONTEX force that guards the European borders since the refugee crisis. The vessel that patrols for asylum seekers trying to cross with a dinghy from the Turkish coast is a Diopos Antoniou P286 Hellenic Navys Kelefstis Stamou class small missile boat. Kos island and the Turkish coast from the other side of the sea are popular tourist destinations. Kos Island, Greece on November 16, 2021 (Photo by Nicolas Economou/NurPhoto)
