Devastating drone footage shows the widespread damage caused by wildfires near the seaside town of Kiotari on the Greek island of Rhodes, with much of the landscape blackened by the flames.

Greece has been sweltering under a lengthy spell of extreme heat, with tens of thousands forced to flee Rhodes in peak tourist season.

The Greek government has issued areas of "extreme fire risk" as wildfires rage in the popular holiday hotspot of Rhodes.

Thousands of people have been evacuated in Greece as firefighters battle more than 80 wildfires across the country, most of which started on Sunday, the hottest day of the summer so far.

The most serious fire was on the island of Rhodes, but Corfu and Evia have become the latest Greek islands to issue evacuation orders. There are fears even more islands could be in the firing line of wildfires as temperatures reach as high as 46.4C.
