@jlslater1979 The tour operators are kind of prepared for it. We got messages saying if anything happened wait for coaches ect. No chaos like the first days of evacuations in the south. Our hotel was practically empty the past few days as no one arrived but they expected it to be full by Mon.

@jlslater1979 I left on Thursday- but, I can say that it had always been safe in Kolymbia. If it wasn't for the news you wouldn't have even known anything was happening. No smoke, no panic - only blue skies! I also felt more secure in Kolymbia because IF evacuation notices were given... 1/2

Lovely clear skies here in Kolymbia today #rhodes #rhodesfire Prays & wishes to all in the south of the island

@GuillermoRein @ImperialHazelab @centrewildfires @imperialcollege @Andrew20061976 maybe have a read of differing opinions!

I was asked to comment on the wildfires in Greece. This is what I said. The combination of heat, wind and people in the Mediterranean is mortal. There have always been wildfires in the South but climate change is making them larger, faster, and harder to stop.

@Meghan__Ryan Honestly I'm not sure, currently is good in Kolympia- clear skies and no smoke. But fires have started heading in out direction and wednesday is forcasted to have wind blowing in this direction. Personally I'm looking forward to leaving on Thursday just to be safe!

@jamesgreen227 Hiya, I am travelling to stay in Kolymbia this Friday - how is it there, is it safe to come or do you recommend changing my holiday to a different destination? Appreciate your response, thanks!

⚠️⚠️ #rhodes New evacuation notice Kalathos --> Kolympia

@Andrew20061976 @GKMugiwara no your just an idiot

@GKMugiwara @jamesgreen227 James is just a bot

Here's a thought. These fires in Rhodes. Evidence to suggest they were started deliberately....arson. Are they classing this as "man made" climate chnage? #Rhodes #fires #ClimateScam #ClimateCrisis

@GKMugiwara @Andrew20061976 So imagine how much dryer they are when it’s the hottest temperatures recorded in Greece …

@jamesgreen227 @Andrew20061976 buddy ….. the Greek islands have always been dry …..

@alockley1985 Oh no! I suppose you’ll get a refund shortly. Maybe head to the Lake District to ensure no fires!

@jamesgreen227 They have just cancelled our holiday flying out Friday :-(

@PompeyKirbs Currrently in my hotel, Imperial Atlantica resort there has been 0 impact. Occasional power cuts for ~20 seconds but then it kicks back in - not sure if this is on a generator or the grid. Air con was slightly reduced in power yesterday I believe to reduce power demand

@jamesgreen227 Looks beautiful, my family and I are due there this time next week; has there been any effect on the day to day running due to the fires? I imagine there’s a huge aura of trepidation around the place 🤔

As expected Gennadi now being evacuated. #Rhodes #rhodesfires

And left side (south of island) fire travelling in line towards coastal areas such as Gennadion. This data also agrees with my post yesterday showing fires being stronger on left hand side of island.

#rhodes New wildfire imagery. 2nd picture data from 22nd. 1st picture 24h at 1am. Seems to show how the central areas have died down as they burned, leaving the sides on fire. Right (north side) less fire but slight advance 1/2 #rhodesfire

@alockley1985 Yeah you wouldn’t even know anything is happening where I am if it wasn’t for the news! Hope the precariousness of your holiday settles!

@jamesgreen227 Thanks James for taking time to respond. Is it business as usual in/around hotel? Wish you a safe remainder of time and safe journey home Thursday

Smoke now visible in #kolymbia #rhodes

#Rhodes According to satellite imagery from @CopernicusEU , the fire seems to be more ferocious on the left side of the island. As you can see in the 1st picture the red is stronger on left. And then in 2nd picture the fire is visible whereas right side seems more extinguished

@alockley1985 I’m heading back on Thursday. Hoping that wind continues going downwards and not north towards us! Currently it is all as normal here but all it takes is either another fire to start or the wind to shift for everything to go bad here too

@jamesgreen227 I’m getting reports that electric out across whole island now - any truth in that? Tui have cancelled all flights upto Wednesday currently - as your there - what’s your honest view if holidays will resume?

@alockley1985 Potentially. Occasional power cuts at this hotel but only for a few seconds. Perhaps they have a generator. Air con has been partially turned off today though

@alockley1985 Imperial Atlantica resort

@jamesgreen227 Which hotel are you in?

@alockley1985 Where I am on the beach of kolymbia you wouldn’t even know something is wrong if it wasn’t for the news or bit of haze in the distance. Could very easily change though by Friday

@jamesgreen227 Due to visit Kolymbia on Friday. Is it effected at all?
