Fears are rising for an Irish couple caught up in Greek wildfires.

Newlyweds Brian O'Callaghan-Westropp and Zoe Holohan married last week before flying out to Greece on their honeymoon.

Ms Holohan is accounted for and is being treated in hospital for buns.

However, her husband remains missing - he was last seen at the resort of Mati outside Athens on Monday.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed it is offering consular assistance to a number of Irish citizens in Greece.

Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney issued advice for Irish citizens.

''Our condolences with Greece at this difficult time. Irish citizens in region should keep up to date with local media + follow advice of Greek authorities in affected areas.

Irish citizens affected can contact Irish Embassy in Athens +30 210 723 2771 or my Dept +353 1 408 2000.''
