The tourism of Rhodes received a big blow in the heart of the summer season due to the fire that has been burning for six days in the south-eastern end of the island. As market players point out, a domino of cancellations is expected in hotel and room rental reservations in the next few days, although until yesterday tourists were still arriving on the island from European countries.

Firefighters, volunteers and residents are battling flames for yet another day. The fire in Rhodes is still ongoing, the fire in Sparta is in remission, while the firefighters are on alert for possible flare-ups in Western Attica and Loutraki.

The business of the beach bar in Rhodes remains unaffected so far, despite the uproar that has been created and the controls that have found heaps of violations over the years.
