Greek government offers free holiday week to evacuated tourists

Aug 03, 2023

Athens [Greece], August 3: Tourists evacuated from the Greek island of Rhodes last week due to wildfires will be allowed to spend a week free on the island in the spring or autumn of 2024, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in an interview with British broadcaster ITV on Wednesday.
Where the tourists could apply to take up the offer was unclear at first.
"For all of those whose holidays were cut short as a result to the wildfires, the Greek government in cooperation with local authorities will offer one week of free holiday on Rhodes," Mitsotakis said, adding this was to ensure people will come back to the island to enjoy its natural beauty.
