The blistering heatwave has seen wildfires in Greece
Holidaymakers headed to Greece have been advised to be 'careful' as a searing heatwave continues to batter the country. Hot, dry winds are causing brush fires in Greece, where a prolonged heatwave was at its peak on Wednesday and Thursday.
Firefighters were battling two large blazes on Thursday, one near a village on the outskirts of the northern city of Thessaloniki, and a brush fire on the island of Kea, near Athens. Emergency services ordered the evacuation of two areas on Kea, while local media said the fire near Thessaloniki had damaged several homes.
