Dutch tourist dies in south Cyprus beach after losing consciousness while swimming
The incident occurred around 2 pm when the man and his wife were swimming in shallow waters of about one metre.
The man lost consciousness after being hit by two waves.
He was brought to shore but did not regain consciousness and was taken by ambulance to Paphos Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead.
His wife told police that he was not a strong swimmer, the Cyprus News Agency said.
Paphos has been experiencing strong winds and stormy seas, with two swimmers rescued earlier on Friday in the sea off the Saint George Hotel.
Another three people were rescued from small boats off Larnaca and Paralimni on Friday afternoon.
