Holidaymakers heading to Crete have been hit by travel chaos after a huge Saharan dust cloud swept across the island, turning the sky an eerie red-orange and cutting visibility.
Flights from the UK were among those disrupted as conditions worsened at Heraklion Airport. A British Airways service from London was rerouted to Corfu, while a SKY Express flight from Brussels was sent to Athens after visibility dropped to around 1,000 metres, a level considered unsafe for landing.
