Two wildfires broke out near Greece's capital on Saturday, exacerbated by high winds that hindered firefighting efforts. Meanwhile, Greek firefighters managed to contain a wildfire on the Aegean Island of Serifos, which had raged uncontrolled overnight, damaging houses and prompting the evacuation of several hamlets. In Turkey, a forest fire that started between Aydin and Kusadasi-Selcuk continues despite efforts to control it. However, most forest fires in Turkey are now under control, although wildfires have severely impacted popular Turkish beach resorts, leading to hotel evacuations.
