A heatwave believed to be the longest ever recorded in Greece has left 11 people dead over the past week.
Two of those killed died in forest fires sparked by the high temperatures.
Although temperatures have begun to fall after a nine-day spell in which 46C was reached in some areas, northerly winds are now fanning forest blazes.
Nine people, many of whom were elderly with prior health problems, have died from heatstroke since Saturday.
And the charred bodies of two men, aged 36 and 42, were found in the central region of Agia Larissas where they had become trapped by a blaze yesterday afternoon.
Two other men with them escaped. The four had joined efforts to put out the blaze.
Fires have been reported at 120 sites across the country since yesterday morning, although most have since been extinguished.
Authorities issued warnings of fierce winds in the regions of Attiki in the south, in Chalkidiki in the north and in Aegean islands.
Greece has appealed for help to the EU, and France and Italy have already sent two fire-fighting planes each.
The heatwave caused long blackouts in several Athens districts this week as Greece's electricity grid worked overtime to handle an all-time high demand for power, mainly for air-conditioning.
The temperature in Athens has dropped to 38-39C from 43C yesterday, and is expected to fall further tomorrow.
