In view of the terrifying images of Rhodes, many questions arise: can I start my journey to Greece? Is it better to cancel the flight? Will I get a refund – or will I have to pay extra? And holidaymakers on site wonder: what should I do to get to safety and get home as soon as possible? We have the overview.
Shocking images of fleeing tourists go around the world: sandy beaches with umbrellas and abandoned deckchairs in the foreground, burnt-down hotels, columns of smoke and fire in the background. A fire has been raging for days on the densely forested Mediterranean island of Rhodes and the largest evacuation in Greek history is currently underway. The strong winds have now fueled the fire again and forest and field fires have now also broken out in more than 60 other regions of the popular holiday destination (see graph below).
The dangerous situation was greatly exacerbated by this – so much so that tourists left on the island are fighting for seats on buses. Now what are the rights for vacationers who have planned a trip to Greece – and for those still stuck from Rhodes? We have the answers to the ten most important questions.
