💨 Abstract

Severe wildfires in Greece have intensified, forcing evacuations in Kryoneri near Athens. Several other regions, including Euboea, Crete, Kythera, and southwestern mainland, are also affected. British tourists planning summer trips should be aware of the high risk, with potential safety issues. The UK Foreign Office advises registering for Greek emergency alerts and following safety guidelines to avoid starting fires. Greece is notoriously prone to wildfires, with devastating historical incidents.
