A Silver Alert was issued after authorites failed to locate the woman.
Authorities confirmed to The Sun that the woman is British national identified as Michele Ann Joy Bourda.
They believe her life could be in danger.
Greece’s Hellenic Coast Guard has confirmed to The Sun that a search operation via sea continues.
The woman was last seen wearing a two-piece beaded swimsuit, yellow beach shoes, and red sunglasses.
The Sun has approached the UK Foreign Office for a comment.
It comes after another Brit tourist vanished from a Greek holiday island last month after his car was found abandoned.
Cops have now launched a search and rescue operation to find the Brit man, 60, who was last seen in the Tristomo village of Karpathos.
It is understood that the Brit was staying in a rented room in Olympos, Karpathos, which is near Rhodes island.
He had also rented a car for his transportation, which authorities found parked and locked in the Korfasia area of Avlonas, local media reports.
According to security sources, a team of eight police officers with four vehicles, firefighters and members of the Greek coast guard have launched an investigation.
The Brit’s landlord informed authorities that she last spoke to him on the morning of June 27.
It comes after a Brit tourist tragically died while on a sun lounger in a Greek paradise island.
The 73-year-old man was reportedly found by fellow holidaymakers in Agia Paraskevi, Skiathos, last week.
Emergency services were then called after the lifeguard attempted to perform first aid on the Brit.
A local doctor tried to revive the man for 40 minutes – but unfortunately was unable to do so.
Earlier this month, another Brit tourist died at a popular Greek island.
The 68-year-old holidaymaker was found dead after he reportedly went swimming and lost consciousness on the island of Rhodes, local media reported.
Officers from the Central Port Authority of Rhodes rushed to the scene of the incident at the popular tourist spot of Lindos.
The man was rushed to the Archangelos Health Centre, but was sadly pronounced dead.
And last August, a 71-year-old Brit tourist was pulled unconscious from the sea in Greece.
