Amorgos, the easternmost of the Cyclades islands, is a rocky 47-square-mile island of less than 2,000 inhabitants. A couple of years ago the island had a record number of visitors, over 100,000. According to the BBC, Calibet is “a regular visitor” to Amorgos and knows the hike he departed on. He was last seen about two hours after leaving the village of Aegiali when he stopped at a store to pick up a soft drink and a bottle of water.
Amorgos' deputy mayor for tourism Popi Despotidi told local media that officials think Calibet may have gotten dizzy and "collapsed somewhere." "It's odd because he's not someone who was walking this route for the first time," Despotidi added.
Temperatures across Greece peaked on Thursday to almost 113 degrees. They are expected to rise again from Sunday, although not to heat-wave levels.
"We are actively collaborating with multiple agencies abroad to provide assistance in the search for Deputy Calibet and will use every resource we have available to bring him back to those who love him," LA County Sheriff Robert Luna said in a statement
