Back to newsA wildfire burning in Oreokastro, a suburb of Thessaloniki in northern Greece, is producing large amounts of smoke that weather conditions are expected to carry southward as far as Crete. While the fire itself is not on the island, visitors in Crete may notice reduced air quality, hazy skies, or a faint smell of smoke over the coming days. Those with respiratory conditions such as asthma should carry any necessary medication and consider limiting time outdoors if smoke becomes visible. Beach and outdoor activity plans are not expected to be significantly disrupted, but travelers are advised to monitor local updates as conditions develop.
