Tens of thousands of people fled wildfires on the Greek island of Rhodes on Sunday as terrified tourists scrambled to get home. On Rhodes, firefighters tackled blazes that erupted in peak tourism season, sparking the country's largest-ever wildfire evacuation and leaving flights and holidays cancelled.
There were also reports of wildfires breaking out on Corfu, another popular Greek island, and in the northern Peloponnese, near the town of Aigio, with land and sea evacuations underway late on Sunday. Tourists and some locals spent the night in gyms, schools and hotel conference centers on the island.
