A blaze on the island of Evia is one of more than 100 burning across Greece.
A wildfire that tore through a forest on the outskirts of the capital, Athens, has now receded - but has destroyed homes and businesses.
The capital is now blanketed in a thick layer of smoke, and residents have been told to stay inside to protect themselves from pollution.
The country is facing its most severe heatwave in 30 years - with a risk of more fires to come.

Al Jazeera's Zein Basravi reports from Athens, Greece.
