Increasingly dry conditions, more development near forested areas, arson, and high winds are all contributing to the drastic increase in wildfires in Greece. Given the Greek terrain, both on the mainland and in the Greek islands, almost anywhere can be in the path of a wildfire. The green, heavily forested island of Samos was devastated a few years ago, and many wildfires have burned from coastal mountains down to the beaches of luxury resorts.
