Back to newsA major fire in Oreokastro, near Thessaloniki in northern Greece, has produced a toxic smoke cloud that weather simulations suggest could drift south and reach Crete. Authorities are monitoring air quality as the smoke travels across the country. Tourists currently on the island or planning to arrive should watch for any local air quality advisories, particularly those with respiratory conditions. If smoke reaches Crete, outdoor activities may be temporarily affected. Check local news and official Greek civil protection announcements (gscp.gr) for updates before spending extended time outdoors. The situation is being tracked and further guidance will be issued if conditions deteriorate.
