Back to newsA major wildfire on Paros island has burned approximately 10,000 hectares of land. The smoke plume traveled across the Aegean Sea and reached Crete, affecting air quality throughout the region. Visitors to Crete may experience reduced visibility and diminished air quality during this period. Authorities are actively working to contain the fire. Travelers on both islands should monitor local weather updates and take precautions if sensitive to smoke exposure. Outdoor activities may be affected by poor visibility. Check regional air quality advisories and follow official guidance from local authorities before planning beach visits, hiking, or other outdoor activities.
