CORFU. Residents were worried by talk of a shark.
A post on Facebook was enough to spark off rumours of a shark swimming off the coast of the island - the case of Wanda Pierri, who lost her life in the sea off Mon Repos in 1951, still hasn't been forgotten by the local community.
The Facebook post shows a long-range shot of what looks like a fin. We were informed by the authorities that a coast guard vessel went to investigate but didn't find any sign of a shark.
Nevertheless, for safety reasons the Port Authority issued a statement calling for bathers and harpoonists to take care.
