"Worst forest fires in decades killed at least 47 people and trapped many more in villages surrounded by flames. [...] Forest fires also broke out near Athens, forcing the evacuation of homes and a monastery and closing the motorway from the capital to the main airport for several hours. [...] Villages in most parts of the Peloponnese have been evacuated while others remain cut off. The fires stretch 160 km (100 miles) from the Ionian Sea in the west to Mani in the south and the Menalo mountain range in the heart of the peninsula." (source)
Smoke can bee seen with MODIS AQUA layer (date: 25/08/2007; you can use MODIS plugin from here)
