Wildfires have swept through the Greek islands of Rhodes and Corfu, prompting extensive evacuations. On Corfu, 2,466 people were evacuated due to a forest fire, including residents and tourists from areas popular with British tourists. Local officials suggested the fires were the result of arson. While a significant part of Corfu’s fires are under control, Rhodes is still battling with the situation. Greek Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni stated that only 10-20% of Rhodes was affected and dispelled rumors that half the island was impacted. Despite the situation, she confirmed that flights to both islands are still operational.
