Over 70 acre of beach forest were destroyed by the incident.
When the accused docked Saturday near Athens, they were detained. They have denied any involvement in the event. Offenders in Greece face up to 20 years in prison and a sizable fine of more than$ 200,000 in penalties for breaking the law and the law.
Famous for its ability to inspire a variety of artists and musicians, including Leonard Cohen and Picasso, Hydra Island has long been a popular vacation spot for artists.
