A series of ferocious wildfires have triggered mass evacuations from areas including tourist hotspots, with firefighters battling to douse the flames as they rage through northeastern Greece, close to Athens.
The fires have been sparked by an intense heat of up to 41C, with the temperatures remaining high across mainland Greece.
