A raging wildfire has continued to engulf a popular coastal resort in Greece, even as hundreds of firefighters battle to put it out amid gusty winds.
The fire broke out on Friday near the coastal village of Agios Vasileios.
More than 300 firefighters have been deployed to control the wildfire, in an effort to prevent it from spreading to the area of Porto Germeno, some 70 kilometres (45 miles) northwest of Athens in the region of Viotia.
"The fire has reached the sea... homes have certainly been damaged," a fire department spokesman told the French AFP news agency.
