The burst of migratory flows in the Aegean with boats crowded sailing off from the Turkish coast and landing on the Greek islands has led the government to take measures to better monitor maritime space in the Aegean in order to prevent the arrival of refugees and migrants.

Migrant flows from Turkey to the islands of the eastern Aegean continued unabated this week, with 694 people arriving on the shores of Lesvos, Samos and Chios between early Monday morning and Tuesday afternoon.
