In pictures: Greek fires unabated

Many parts of Greece have been struggling to cope with devastating fires that have killed 60 people.

Civilians have been caught in the blazes - often desperately fighting single-handedly.

Farmers have seen their crops - and livelihoods - burning ferociously.

Many villages in the Peloponnese peninsula have been evacuated - here a man looks at burnt cars left by villagers near Artemida in Zacharo.

Fires are affecting the capital, Athens, too. This picture of the Athens sky was sent to the BBC by Ava Babili.

Konstantinos Topalidis also took pictures in the Greek capital. "It feels like snowing ashes and it is quite smoky," he says.

The winged statue of victory is surrounded by smoke on the ancient site of Olympia.
