TOPSHOT - A migrant stands in front of sea on April 16, 2015 at the port of Lesbos island as he waits to board onto a ship to go to the port of Piraeus in Athens. Since Greece bolstered controls along its land border with Turkey, along the Evros River, illegal immigrants have turned to the maritime route between Turkey and the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, notably Lesbos, Samos, Kos and Chios. 2015 started with a major increase in the number of Aegean crossings: 10,445 against 2,863 in the same period of 2014, according to the Greek port police.
