The holidaymaker known only as Ivan, 30, found himself in difficulty on Saturday when he became caught up in powerful currents off the coast of Myti Beach in Kassandra, Greece.
Friends worried about him going missing alerted the coastguard – but Ivan, from North Macedonia, was declared lost at sea.
But miraculously his life was saved when a child’s ball floated towards him in the ocean in a tale reminiscent of the film Cast Away, which stars Tom Hanks.
He clung onto the ball to help him float – until rescuers spotted him some 18 hours later.
Ivan was pulled out of the water on Sunday and has since recovered from his ordeal.
