Scottish holidaymakers evacuated during Greek wildfires

They moved to the neighbouring village which was deemed to be safe from the wildfire.

“We’re just trying to move on now,” she said. “I had no idea this would happen here.

“I asked some of the locals and they said it had been roughly 12 years since they had their last wildfire.”

However, she said the couple were keen to enjoy the rest of their holiday and it would not put her off visiting Greece again.

“But I’ll be glad to be home after that,” she added.

On Wednesday, a wildfire consumed olive groves in the Moria region on the island of Lesvos.

On the same day, a water-bombing aircraft was deployed to put out a wildfire on the outskirts of Athens, and residents living in two settlements on the outskirts of the capital had to be evacuated.

Last month a volunteer firefighter died battling wildfires fanned by gale-force winds in Ilia on the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece.
