In terms of area destroyed, the Municipality of Evros has suffered the most extensive forest loss, totaling 95,454 hectares, with a staggering 83% of that damage occurring during the 2023 fires. Significant losses were also seen in 2021, when fires on the island of Evia burned 34,283 hectares of forest, accounting for 47% of the total area burned in Greece that year.
