A serious accident occurred on Monday afternoon, June 29, 2026, in Nidri on the island of Lefkada, involving a Greek-British female tourist visiting the local waterfalls. What began as a carefree outing quickly turned into a moment of terror when a rock broke loose and struck the woman on the head.
Emergency response and critical condition
The 52-year-old woman sustained severe injuries and was rushed to Lefkada General Hospital. Medical staff immediately worked to stabilize her condition, and she was placed on mechanical ventilation. Later that evening, she was transferred by air or ground ambulance to Athens’ KAT Hospital — one of Greece’s major trauma centers — where she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.
