A New Zealand woman lost on a dinghy off the coast of Greece survived two nights adrift before being rescued by the coast guard.

Seven patrol boats from the Hellenic Coast Guard, a Navy helicopter and other private fishing boats joined the search for Kushila Stein, from Warkworth.

The 47-year-old woman was found on Sunday night after almost 40 hours at sea.
