Five Hungarian kayakers disappeared in Croatia on the Adriatic!

The police department of Rijeka (Fiume) learned about the disappearance of five Hungarian kayakers on the stormy Adriatic Sea. They began to search after them immediately.

According to Szeretlek Magyarország, the coast guard found two persons in the sea and another two on the island of Goli, close to Rijeka. However, the waves carried away the fifth Hungarian kayaker, so local police and coast guard could not find him Tuesday evening and night. Finally, they discovered him in the Rta Markonj Bay unharmed on Wednesday at dawn.

This story ended well: however, the police ask holidaymakers to take to heart the weather forecasts. In case of strong winds and unfavourable weather conditions, they should not go to the sea because the situation may deteriorate quickly, causing even fatalities.

Hungarian police went to Croatia

We wrote before that the Hungarian interior ministry dispatched police units to Croatia to help locals with issues concerning Hungarian holidaymakers.

The main reason is that the number of Hungarian tourists visiting Croatia last year increased by 13% to a record 728,000 compared with 2019, the previous record year. The most popular destinations included the regions of Kvarner, Istria, Zadar and Split, with the cities of Crikvenica, Medulin, Opatija, Porec, Rovinj and Vir.
