About wildfires in Greece
Greece experiences severe wildfire seasons driven by extreme summer heat, drought, and strong winds. The country's Mediterranean landscape of pine forests, olive groves, and dry shrublands is highly flammable during peak fire season from June to September.
The 2018 Attica fires near Athens killed 102 people, the deadliest disaster in modern Greek history. The 2023 Evros fire in northeastern Greece became the largest wildfire ever recorded in the European Union, burning over 93,000 hectares. The island of Rhodes also experienced major fires forcing tourist evacuations in 2023.
