Cars were washed into the sea on the tourist island of Crete and two people were killed after torrential rain caused major flooding during one of the worst storms for 100 years.

Greek firefighters said the body of a 49-year-old woman was found in the sea on Sunday, raising the death toll to two from the floods.
