Brit photographer, 67, collapses and dies at top Greek beauty spot during hike to snap fighter jets taking flight

A BRIT photographer has collapsed and died on top of a Greek beauty spot.

The man, 67, was found in the Vouraikos gorge in Kalavryta after his friends called emergency services around 8.30 am Friday.

Friends tried to resuscitate the 67-year-old before rescue teams arrived to find the man already unconscious on the outskirts of the town of Diakopto.

Police, the fire department and an ambulance were quickly brought to the scene to assist.

He was later pronounced dead at the Kalavryta Hospital.

The man has not been identified yet.

The 67-year-old and his friends were hiking through the gorge, hoping to capture shots of NATO fighter jets flying overhead on the last day of drills.

Photographers were invited to attend NATO exercises on October 1 and 8.

Local firefighters posted on Twitter/X this morning but only confirmed that one man had been injured near the local caves.

"An unconscious man was transported from a difficult location in the Kalavryton mega cave area and handed over to the EKAB (emergency teams).

"(They brought) seven firefighters with two vehicles."

Police are working to establish the cause of death, with initial investigations suggesting he may have been suffering from an illness, per local media.

The body will be transferred to Patra, where an autopsy will be conducted.

It comes after a British tourist tragically died in Crete after feeling unwell during a swim last month.
