A traffic ban is in place for forested areas in the municipalities of Kassandras and Sithonia in Chalkidiki, Greece, due to a high risk of wildfires. The ban is effective until 7:30 AM on July 6, 2026, as a precautionary measure given the increased likelihood of fire outbreaks in the region. This decision was prompted by a wildfire danger rating of 3, indicating a significant risk.
In addition to the areas in Chalkidiki, the metropolitan area of Thessaloniki also has restrictions in effect, with a traffic ban implemented in nearby forest areas, such as the Periurban Forest and the wooded lands of Oropos, Thermi, and Panorama. This traffic restriction began on July 5 at 7:30 AM and will last for the same duration until the following morning. These measures are part of broader efforts to manage and contain the threat of wildfires in regions experiencing such elevated danger levels.
