A man and a young boy, both Russians, died after a tree collapsed near a hotel in the seaside town of Potidea, authorities said.
A medical centre said it had treated 60 to 70 people, most with fractures.
"It is the first time in my 25-year career that I have lived through something like this," the medical centre director, Athansios Kaltsas, told OPEN TV.
"It was so abrupt, and so sudden."
Meteorologist Klearxos Marousakis described the weather conditions as "extremely unusual" for this time of year.
