Fast-moving wildfires near Athens have killed at least 74 people, officials said on Tuesday, forcing thousands of tourists and residents to flee in cars and buses, on foot, aboard boats and on makeshift rafts. In desperation, some people plunged into the Aegean waters and tried to swim to safety.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has declared three days of national mourning in memory of fire victims.
