Following deadly wildfires in Greece that killed at least 83 people northeast of Athens, our partners at Lost Athina visited Mati, a coastal resort town and the epicenter of the destruction caused over Monday night.

The Athens-based content creators shared a video on their Facebook page showing vivid images of devastation that occurred due to the tragic wildfires, which are the worst to strike Greece in more than a decade.

In the caption, the group wrote:

“The images are shocking and heartbreaking, and serve as a reminder that we should all assist in any way we can.”

Since you’re here… I have a small favor to ask.

More and more people than ever before are reading The Pappas Post and despite increasing costs to maintain the site and provide you with the quality content that you deserve, I will never “force” you to pay for our website or add a paywall.
