Two accidents in the early hours off the Greek Aegean islands of Farmakonisi and Kalolimnos left 41 people dead, the Greek coastguard said.
Turkey's Dogan news agency meanwhile reported that the Turkish coastguard had found the bodies of three children after their boat sank off the beach resort of Didim.
Earlier, the Greek coastguard said 48 survivors made it to shore of Farmakonisi, which lies west of Turkey in the Aegean Sea, after their boat struck rocks early on Friday (local time).
