GREECE ON FIRE




Severe bush-fires ignited on the southern side of Kessandra (approx 10km from where we stayed).. as well as numerous other locations (mainly southern Greece) …. All other the TV news … so the next day we drove around to have a look ….and although the fires claimed numerous house and cars, it didn’t look as bad as the television footage showed … we spent good part of the day on the beach watching the fire planes and helicopters reloading water from the sea, only meters from where we were swimming.
