Description
People depart the Greek island of Rhodes, with crowds gathered at the airport as firefighters continue to battle wildfires. "It was terrible," says one tourist from England, describing his evacuation to a stadium. Wind gusts of up to 49 kilometres (31 miles) per hour were complicating efforts to bring the flames under control.The island of Rhodes is one of Greece's most popular tourist destinations, particularly with British, German and French tourists -- many of whom were being rapidly moved out of the path of the flames.
