As Brits rush to escape the fire-ravaged island of Rhodes, emergency services fear more blazes could hit other Greek islands - including Crete. Corfu was the second holiday hotspot to be hit by horrific wildfires at the weekend, but the fire service are preparing for the fires to spread. The Corfu blaze prompted warnings to Brits staying at certain hotels not to travel. Locals in some areas battled the blaze themselves on Corfu as sea evacuations were carried out. And with many Brits have been left seeking advice and here, the Mirror's Consumer Editor Natasha Wynarczyk explains everything you need to know if you have been affected. The Association of British Travel Agents say holidaymakers in the most affected areas, such as Lardos, Kiotari and Pefki, have been or are being evacuated and are being supported by the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. A spokesperson added: "All customers on holiday in the region are advised to monitor news reports and follow any advice or instructions issued by the local authorities, their travel company or their accommodation providers." Rory Boland, editor of Which? Travel, said travellers will be likely to be offered compensation especially if they booked a package deal through a tour operator, thanks to the Package Travel Regulations 2018 rule. "If it was cut short, the holiday company will have to offer you another break to complete those days or a partial refund - once you get back to the UK get in touch and see what your options are, but bear in mind they will be overwhelmed so it's worth giving them a week or two before contacting them," h){kind=link}
