A woman from Bath is missing after a holiday on a Greek Island.

Susan Hart and her husband, Ed, were away on holiday when she disappeared on 30 April.

They were on a ferry trip to Tolendos from the island where they were staying, Kalymnos. Susan then reportedly left her to do some rock climbing with a friend while Susan planned to head off to a restaurant to wait for him.

When Ed came back from rock climbing, she was missing.

The 74-year-old has lived with her husband in Switzerland for the past two decades, and Susan's family believe she could have dementia.

Susan has three daughters, who have been been posting their appeal on social media to try and find her.

Ruth Landale, 45, who has also shared the missing poster, below, said: "Someone, somewhere must have seen something. People don’t just vanish".

"Mum has dementia and is very vulnerable. We need to find her, please help us."

She added a private rescue team were called out on May 9, and they have also hired private divers as part of search efforts.

A spokesperson from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: “We are providing consular assistance to the family of a British woman who has been reported missing in Greece and are in contact with the local authorities.”

Anyone who has seen or knows something about Susan's disappearance is urged to call the British Vice Consulate on +30 22410 22005.
