Europe wildfires map 2023 and UK travel advice for Spain, Greece, Italy, Turkey and more
Massive wildfires have broken out across the Mediterranean as high temperatures cause the fires to spread.
Greece Greece has suffered from widespread fires across both the mainland and the many Greek islands. Rhodes, Corfu and Euboea have been affected particularly badly, with tens of thousands evacuated from Rhodes alone. The UK government says: "Forest fires are a risk during the extended summer months. They are highly dangerous and unpredictable. Wildfires are currently affecting areas of Sicily, Puglia and Calabria.
"Causing a forest fire is a criminal offence in Spain, even if unintentional. Make sure cigarette ends are properly extinguished, do not light barbecues and do not leave empty bottles behind. You can be heavily fined for not following the rules against lighting outdoor barbecues in forest areas. Make sure you know the rules if considering a barbeque."
