Holidaymakers have been forced to flee their Mediterranean escapes after a wildfire ravaged a Greek island.
Three separate blazes erupted below the Pangia Voitheia Monastery on Chios Island this morning and at mid-day - which have gone on to spread due to powerful winds.
The flames engulfed the island leaving firefighters struggling to contain the major fire.
Tourists and locals have been urged to evacuate from more than a dozen areas, with residents in Karyes advised to flee toward the main town of Chios.
A major investigation has been launched as officials believe the fire could have been a deliberate arson attack.
