Lindos Imperial Resort and Spa, in the village of Kiotari, was one of the hotels which was evacuated when wildfires raged across the Greek island.
Before the natural disaster, the five-star luxury hotel and spa was host to happy families relaxing on sun loungers with children happily playing in the pool.
