The tourist towns of Parikia and Naousa, on Paros, were hardest hit as floodwaters carried cars and debris through the streets.
A powerful storm in the Aegean Sea has triggered flash flooding on the Greek holiday island of Paros.
Torrential rain in the tourist towns of Parikia and Naousa caused floodwaters that surged through streets, carrying cars and debris past whitewashed buildings late on Monday.
The flooding was less severe on nearby Mykonos, also a popular holiday destination, where excavators were used to clear a path for floodwater, and it gushed past seafront cafes and restaurants.
Hailstorms saw grasslands blanketed with white balls of ice.
An emergency travel ban has been imposed on all traffic except emergency vehicles on both islands, and schools have been closed.
