Tour operators are providing alternative destinations to holidaymakers booked to go to Greek islands affected by devastating wildfires (Corfu, Evia, Rhodes) as well as to the Antalya area of Turkey, which has also been affected. Mallorca is one of these destinations. Others are the Spanish Costas in Andalusia, Catalonia and Valencia.

After all the bla bla bla about how Mallorcan hotels are full, packed, suddenly there are available rooms for Greek fire tourists?? Sounds suspicious..and rental cars??
Paul RobinsonWhat a lot of a BS!
If you were going to Greece and have to change, I would switch to Turkey, In my experience Mallorca is 30% more expensive for the same level of product as Greece. On top of that the beaches in Mallorca are not as good and absolutely heavjng. I get coming to Mallorca for high end hotels and restaurants as they don't really exist on Greek Islands. But your budget 3/4 star people are much better off avoiding Mallorca and sticking with Greece & Turkey.
Thanks to the Russian federation for sending in fire fighting assistance to the greeks. They stepped up long before the Europeans could figure out how they could make a buck from it.
They will get a shock. Double tourist tax! Hence, the reason they have vacancies. People have woken up to this 'steal' and going elsewhere! Neighbour recently returned and said their resort was in chaos. the street was still being made and the beach had no sand on. Asked why we had kept going. We replied, that is why we have stopped going!
