Emergency crews had paused the search at 8pm Greek time on Friday as dusk fell.
The search for missing TV doctor and columnist Michael Mosley is set to resume on the Greek island of Symi.
The search-and-rescue operation for Mr Mosley was described as a “race against time” on Friday, as it switched to a treacherous mountainous path. Meanwhile, the mayor’s daughter Mika Papakalodouka told PA the path he is thought to have taken is “not dangerous at all, but we have 40C outside so it’s easy to get dizzy”.
Symi’s coast guard said all of its patrol boats were out searching on Friday, while the Ministry of Maritime Affairs confirmed the Port Authority of Symi was assisting the investigations of the Hellenic Police, “using patrols from the sea and operational vessels patrolling the area”. A local Facebook group said Mr Mosley went for a walk from Saint Nikolas beach at about 1.30pm Greek time on Wednesday.
