One person has been killed after a large wildfire in Keratea, southeast of Athens, spread rapidly, destroying homes and prompting evacuation alerts.
The fire service says the body of an elderly man was found inside his home in the Togani area, close to where the fire started.
The blaze broke out shortly after 14:00 local time (12:00 BST) on Friday in the Manoutso area, initially burning through dry grass and plots of land.
Across Greece, more than 50 agricultural and forest fires have broken out in the past 24 hours - one of the worst days for wildfires this summer.
Fanned by winds of up to 8 Beaufort, with gusts reaching 9, the fire near Keratea grew quickly in size and intensity. Thick smoke and strong gusts are hampering firefighting efforts.
