Blazes are spreading across areas of mainland Greece with the fires tragically claiming two lives.
Parts of Greece are experiencing major wildfires as blazes continue to wreak havoc across the country, with locals and those visiting the areas of danger issued a warning.
The fires have been sparked by an intense heat of up to 41C, with the temperatures remaining high across mainland Greece. Gale force winds have created a dangerous environment, causing the blaze to spread. The wildfires have tragically caused two deaths and destroyed many homes across the popular holiday spots.
The wildfires follow huge fires in Rhodes and Corfu earlier this summer, with many holidaymakers left stranded on the islands as flames spread. The advice urges anyone heading to Greece to follow “112 Greece” on Twitter for official updates", explaining that the situation can change quickly.
