Thousands of people have been evacuated from the Greek islands of Rhodes and Corfu, and several airlines have organised repatriation flights back to the UK. While both islands have been impacted by the blazes, larger parts of Corfu remain unaffected.
ABTA has reassured travellers heading to Corfu in the coming weeks that many hotels and resorts as operating as normal. An ABTA spokesperson said: “The situation in Corfu is quite different to the situation in Rhodes.
"The wildfire on the northeast of the island of Corfu is on a much smaller scale and is affecting significantly fewer holidaymakers. Some of the resorts were evacuated as a precautionary measure and we understand that those who were initially evacuated have mostly been able to return to their resorts and their accommodation.
“Corfu is a very large island. Hotels and resorts are open and providing holiday services. The majority of people travelling to or currently on holiday in Corfu should be able to continue their holidays as planned.
"The health and safety of customers on holiday in the region is the number one priority and ABTA members remain in close contact with the Greek authorities regarding the situation in Corfu. Customers in Corfu and those due to travel there imminently are advised to continue to monitor the situation and follow any advice issued by the local authorities or their travel company.
