Greece’s Emergency Communications Service has taken decisive action by issuing evacuation orders for multiple areas in Corfu, and Rhodes, as wildfires continue to wreak havoc on the two popular Greek islands. The escalating fires have left both locals and tourists in a state of distress.
In Corfu, residents and holidaymakers in Santa, Megoula, Porta, Palia Perithia, and Sinies have been urged to evacuate immediately and seek safety in Kasiopi. The ongoing wildfires have made it nearly impossible for people to spend more than five minutes outside due to the intense 40-degree Celsius heat.
