The Greek Island of Rhodes has conducted its largest ever wildfire evacuation with thousands of people, including tourists and locals fleeing some areas.
Last night the Greek Emergency Communications Service also issued evacuation orders for some areas of Corfu, due to fires.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is advising against travel to the affected areas, and has been contacted by a number of Irish citizens impacted by the current fires.
Officials in Corfu have started using boats to get people off the Island - as wildfires spread, leaving residents and tourists terrified:
