A British tourist has died after drowning while swimming during a boat trip on the Greek island of Kefalonia.

The 75-year-old was pulled from the sea unconscious after going for a swim on Ammoudi Beach on Wednesday morning.

The Brit was on a tourist boat which stopped at the beach to let passengers swim.

He dived into the sea before fellow passengers noticed he was unconscious, pulling him back onto the boat.

The man was given first aid on board and the vessel returned to the Port of Fiskardo.
