Save Journey: A Syrian man kisses the ground moments after arriving on the shores of the Greek island of Lesbos after crossing the Aegean sea from Turkey to Greece on Friday. Turkish efforts to stop traffickers from sending large "ghost ships" crammed with migrants towards Italy has sparked the surge in arrivals in Greece, the International Organization for Migration said on Thursday. The migrants and refugees making the perilous journey across the Mediterranean to Europe are increasingly traveling the eastern route from Turkey to the Greek islands, which have seen more arrivals since the beginning of the year than long-time top destination Italy, according to UN figures.
