A ferry sailing from mainland Greece to the island of Crete was forced to stop after a fire broke out on the vessel's onboard car park.
Passengers on the Eleftherios Venizelos ferry operated by Anek Lines were made to wait on the deck while emergency services planned their evacuation.
The filmer, a British tourist based in Dubai, said: "I saw three fire-ships pinning the ferry to the quayside and smoke billowing out both ends ... there were people on deck still."
No injuries have been reported and all passengers were accounted for on their disembarkation this morning at 7 am local time.
