Back to newsA large wildfire near Oreokastro, a suburb of Thessaloniki in northern Greece, produced a dense smoke cloud that spread across a wide area, reaching as far south as Crete. The smoke was visible from multiple regions of the island, causing reduced air quality and hazy skies. While the fire itself is located far from Crete, visitors on the island may notice an unusual haze or smell of smoke in the air. Those with respiratory conditions such as asthma should take precautions and limit outdoor activity if the haze is noticeable. Authorities are monitoring the situation. Tourists are advised to check local air quality updates and follow guidance from Greek civil protection services if conditions worsen during their stay.
