Greece’s tourism authorities have firmed up plans to offer holidaymakers whose breaks were affected by last summer’s devastating wildfires in Rhodes a free, week-long stay.

The Rodos Week initiative is aimed at tourists who were residing in hotels that had to be evacuated during last July’s forest fires, offering them a six-night stay on the island.

Greek prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis made the pledge during an appearance on ITV’s Good Morning Britain last year.
