Greece's coast guard found alive two missing British tourists early Tuesday morning after their boat burst into flames on Monday night off the coast of Zakynthos in the western Ionian Sea.

They were sent to hospital while the boat they were traveling on was towed to a nearby port.

A passing cruise ship spotted the boat which was on fire near Laganas, and approached it to put out the fire.
