Others have made the far shorter but often equally life-threatening crossing from the Turkish coast to nearby Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, often in unseaworthy inflatable dinghies or other small boats.
In October, 12 people, including an infant, died when the two boats they were traveling in from Turkey to the islands of Lesbos and Samos capsized.
Frontex said that the eastern Mediterranean was the busiest route for migrants attempting to enter the EU in October, although irregular border crossings into the bloc were down by a third so far this year.
