Tourists flee on an open air lorry as they are evacuated during wildfires that have ravaged Rhodes
easyJet is operating two rescue flights totalling 421 seats on Monday and a third on Tuesday, in addition to its nine scheduled flights to the Greek island. Thomas Cook has cancelled all holidays to Kiotari and Lardos – the areas of Rhodes most at risk – up to and including 31 July. “The Tui staff tried there best but it’s an utter shambles.
