A number of wildfires are still blazing in Turkey but more than 100 have been brought under control, according to officials Sunday.
The Minister of Forestry and Agriculture, Bekir Pakdemirli, tweeted that five fires were continuing in the tourist destinations of Antalya and Mugla but that 107 others had now been subdued.
The fires in Antalya were burning in the Manavgat and Gundogmus districts. In Mugla, they have hit Marmaris, Koycegiz, and Milas.
Police water cannons usually used to control riots, assisted helicopters and firetrucks in Mugla in fighting the fires.
Tourists were evacuated Saturday from some hotels in Mugla's popular district of Bodrum as a fire spread down the hill towards the seashore.
Pakdemirli wrote that fires have sprung up in 32 provinces since Wednesday. Six people have died.
A heatwave across southern Europe, fed by hot air from Africa, has led to wildfires across the Mediterranean, including in Italy and Greece.
