Those greek isles are perilous. Similar conditions on crete.

This is so sad. They were just at what should have been the beginning of their life together. I fail to understand how people are laughing about this.

So sad to read what has happened, Santorini is such a lovely island I chose to hire a car on the island. One thing you see on Santorini is lots of quad bikes.

This is very tragic..NOT FUNNY.😡😡

Why are morons making jokes about this?

How sad.😥

Ouch 😢

Tragic. RIP

They drove off a cliff then.
