A forest fire is raging on the island of Chios in the Greek archipelago and villagers and tourists are fleeing to the beach to escape the flames.

Over 200 fire-fighters, soldiers and volunteers are involved in the operation and have been joined by eight aircrafts and two helicopters.
At least three villages and tourist resorts have been evacuated and residents can only watch from the beach as fire consume the island.

On the bright side, the room rate for the resorts will be at an all time low
