Greece

Peak wildfire season is bringing dangerous blazes and evacuations across Greece. Fires and evacuations have hit the Halkidiki peninsula and the island of Crete, the deadly fire near Liti (Thessaloniki area) killed two people, and Chios remains under a wildfire state of emergency, with high fire risk nationwide in hot, windy conditions. Check local fire and evacuation notices (112 alerts), avoid rural, forested, and coastal scrub areas under red-flag warnings, never light open flames, follow authority instructions immediately if told to evacuate, and keep flexible rebooking or travel insurance in mind.
