JAKARTA - A missing American tourist was found dead on the beach on a small Greek island west of Corfu.

The man's body was found on Sunday, June 16 on a quite remote rocky beach on the island of Mathraki by other tourists.

Reported by CNN, Monday, June 17, the victim was initially reported missing on Thursday, June 13 by a Greek-American friend.

The tourist was last seen on Tuesday, June 11, last week in a cafe with two female tourists who had left the island. No further details about the victim, including the name or origin of his residence.

Mathraki, with a population of 100, is a dense forested island covering an area of 3.9 square kilometers (1.2 square miles), west of Corfu's more famous island.

Earlier reported on Friday, June 14, two French tourists were reported missing in Sikinos, the relatively remote island of Cyclades in the Aegean Sea, with less than 400 permanent residents.

The two women aged 64 and 73 left their respective hotels to meet.

On the island of Amorgos, also on Cyclades, authorities are still looking for a 59-year-old tourist who has been reported missing since Tuesday, 121-June, when he climbed alone in a very hot condition.

US media identified the missing tourist as Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff Albert Calibet from Hermosa Beach, California.
