A group of 12 German hikers reported missing in Ioannina were found to be safe after an urgent search was launched to track them, authorities said.
The hikers had embarked on a journey from Aoos Lake to Vovousa, failing to meet up with a mountain guide at a specified time.
Search teams and mountain rangers equipped with off-road vehicles quickly were immediately mobilized to locate them, but the German hikers eventually emerged, hours later.
No reason for their delay was provided. All were found to be in good health.
Authorities said the incident underscores the importance of maintaining clear communication during hiking excursions and the effectiveness of the local emergency response protocols.
