The fires sent up thick clouds of smoke blotting out the sun as they drifted over the sea as blazes raged metres away from homes, forcing people to flee while others tried to protect their houses from the embers.
The fire on Lesbos island broke out at 10am local time on Saturday and is blazing on two fronts, heading towards Vrisa village and another inside Vatera.The Greek coast guard said earlier it evacuated nine people including five foreigners from a beach in Vatera.West Lesbos mayor Taxiarchis Verros ordered the evacuation of the busy beach resort as a precautionary measure, acting on the advice of the fire brigade, Athens News Agency reported.
However, their efforts were hampered by the dense smoke and lack of wind, combined with high humidity during the night, which hindered the effort to fight the fire from the air. In the Peloponnese, a fire that broke out near Koroni Saturday morning sparked an evacuation of the Akritochori village early evening.
