Wave sweeps woman into sea

A German woman died Sunday when she was swept by a wave in the port of Kyparissia in western Peloponnese.

The 66-year-old woman was walking with her husband along the pier when a large wave swept her into the sea. Her body was found some 500 meters away.

Strong winds and large waves have hit the area all day Sunday.

Artwork destroyed by waves

A work by Alper Aydın, displayed in the Black Sea during his exhibition "Fata Morgana," has been destroyed by waves.

In the exhibition, which was opened to visitors last month and named after a natural phenomenon that is frequently seen in the region, one of the works in Cape Sülü in the Black Sea province of Ordu could not stand the waves of the Black Sea any longer and disappeared.
