The vessel "Eleftherios Venizelos" made an unexpected return to the port of Souda, located on the island of Crete, late in the evening, due to a student experiencing severe discomfort. The ship had initially departed at 9:00 PM, heading towards the port of Piraeus on the mainland.
The incident involved a student from a school group that was visiting the city of Chania on an excursion. As soon as the ship docked back at the port, the student was attended to by the Greek National Emergency Center (EKAB) and subsequently taken to the Chania General Hospital for further medical evaluation. Accompanying teachers were present to support the affected student during this time.

Interestingly, this was the second medical situation involving this group, as another student had been transported to the hospital before the ship initially set sail. Efforts were swiftly coordinated to ensure the timely care of the students involved.
After addressing the situation, the "Eleftherios Venizelos" resumed its journey at 11:30 PM, continuing on its scheduled route to Piraeus.
This development underscores the challenges faced during group travel, particularly when health-related issues arise unexpectedly. It also highlights the rapid response and coordination from healthcare providers and educators to ensure the well-being of students during such excursions.
