The German tourist who was reported missing a day ago on the Karaburun Peninsula has been found.

The Orikum police searched for almost 12 hours to find the 73-year-old German along with his dog, who had lost contact since yesterday morning.

According to the Orikum police, the German citizen is fine and has sent a message (signal) from where he is in "Skalom te Beget", a bay near Bristan behind the Pashaliman base.

The 73-year-old is passionate about hiking, nature walks and mostly unexplored places.

Meanwhile, the police have contacted him and are going to the bay where he is staying.
