A Greek official says more than 230,000 refugees and migrants have arrived in Greece by sea this year.
Deputy shipping minister Nikos Zois said Thursday a huge rise from 17,500 in the same period in 2014.
More than 80 percent of the arrivals, recorded by the coastguard, are refugees eligible for political asylum, Zois tells a press conference.
