Greek Prime Minister Promises Free Holidays for Tourists Affected by Rhodes Fire

British tourists who had their holiday ruined by the fires on Rhodes have been promised a free trip by the Greek Prime Minister

British tourists who had their holiday on Rhodes cut short by the forest fires have been promised a free trip by the Greek Prime Minister.

Around 20,000 tourists were evacuated from resorts in the south of Rhodes during the wildfires.

Greece’s Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “The island is perfectly back to normal.

“The Greek Government will offer one week of free holiday on Rhodes next spring or fall to all of those whose holiday was cut short by the forest fires.”

The Greek Government has yet to clarify how the offer will work and what will be covered for eligible tourists.

The offer appears to exclude holidays in the peak summer season so tourists will need to opt for a spring or autumn trip instead.

It’s not yet known whether flights will be included in the offer or how holidaymakers will prove they are eligible for the deal.
