Image copyright Reuters Greece has “serious indications” that a fire that killed at least 83 people near Athens earlier this week was started deliberately, Citizen Protection Minister Nikos Toskas says.
The blaze broke out on Monday and hit coastal villages popular with tourists.
Some 60 people are still being treated in hospital, 11 in intensive care. Dozens more are missing.
Earlier, rescue workers searching a cliffside in the seaside town of Mati found more human remains.
A large number of the victims were caught close to the cliff as the flames spread rapidly, whipped up by winds as high as 120km/h (75mph). Many of the survivors were saved by the sea, but dozens of victims were unable to reach the water.

Earlier Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos told the BBC that illegal construction had contributed to the disaster.
He said building by residents between wooded areas was a “crime” that had resulted in blocking escape routes.
Mr Kammenos was confronted by angry locals as he visited areas devastated by fires east of Athens this week.
Arriving in Mati, where many people died, Mr Kammenos was surrounded by residents who accused him of abandoning them.

But he said the actions of some residents had closed the roads to the beach, he argued.
“This is a crime from the past,” he said. “This coast of Athens, all these properties, the majority are without a licence, and they have occupied the coast without rules.”
Among those still missing are twin nine-year-old girls Vassiliki and Sofia Philippopoulou, who were with their grandparents near Mati at the time of the fire.
