Wildfires burned across Greece on Monday, forcing people to be evacuated from a beach on the island of Corfu while tourists crowded an airport on Rhodes after thousands fled hotels and resorts at the weekend.
Fires burning since Wednesday on Rhodes forced the evacuation of 19,000 people over the weekend as an inferno reached coastal resorts on the island’s southeastern coast.“We are in the seventh day of the fire and it hasn’t been controlled,” Rhodes Deputy Mayor Konstantinos Taraslias told state broadcaster ERT.“It was quite a bit of a struggle on the beach with the smoke,” said John Hope, a tourist from Manchester, England.
Temperatures over the past week have exceeded 104 degrees Fahrenheit in many parts of the country and were forecast to persist in the coming days. Emergency services were also dealing with fires on the island of Evia, east of Athens, and Aigio, southwest of Athens.
