Tourists planning to travel to these areas tonight are advised to postpone their trip and not set off without first checking the latest information.

Firefighting crews remain on the ground, while some parts of Siviri are currently experiencing disruptions to electricity and water supplies.

 

Although the situation is better than during the most critical phase of the wildfire, the consequences are still being felt. Travelers planning to arrive tomorrow are therefore advised to contact their accommodation before setting off and check the situation in the specific area where they will be staying, according to posts on the popular Facebook pages Nikana and Grčkainfo.

According to tourists’ accounts, the situation is considerably calmer, but smoke and ash could still be felt in the air.

According to Nikana, accommodation owners told them that very strong winds were blowing today, making it difficult to contain the wildfire, but that the fire did not reach the coastal area.

Firefighters from Thessaloniki also took part in battling the blaze, while tourists were evacuated as a precautionary measure. They added that some tourists have now been allowed to return to their accommodation, where they were able to rest and swim in the sea.

The safest approach is to follow updates from the relevant authorities and local officials and wait for the morning reports before deciding whether to travel.

For those already staying in Halkidiki, the most important thing is to follow the instructions of the authorities and avoid approaching areas affected by the wildfire.
