HORDES of tourists have fled to the airport on the Greek island of Kos today after a 6.7 magnitude earthquake.
Crowds were spotted outside Kos International Airport as they tried to leave the holiday hot spot.
Flights in and out of the island were cancelled yesterday causing delays, but schedules are due to return to normal today.
Many travellers were forced to sit on the ground outside the terminal with their luggage.
Thousands of Brits were caught up in a 6.7 magnitude quake which hit on Friday morning at around 1:30am.
The quake, which hit the popular resorts of Bodrum and Kos, killed two, injured at least 100 others and triggered a tsunami last night.
The government has warned British holidaymakers will face certain travel disruption at what is the busiest time of year – and should also be on alert for aftershocks.
The latest guidance warns: “Flights and ferry services are being significantly disrupted as a result of the earthquake. Please contact your airline, ferry company or tour operator for updates to services.”
And travellers to Turkey are being advised: “There may be disruption to ferry and flight services as a result of the earthquake.”
The Foreign Office also instructs tourists to Greece and Turkey to “be aware of the possibility of aftershocks.”
Meanwhile, travel agent Thomas Cook said all of its 2,682 British customers in Kos and 441 in Bodrum are accounted for.
A statement said: “Our teams in the resort areas affected by the earthquake and in our customer centres are supporting customers currently on holiday in the region. We have no reports of any injuries and there is little impact on our hotels.”
errified holidaymakers were seen running for their lives as tremors shook buildings and beachfront hotels were flooded.
Dozens of Brits told The Sun they woke up to find their hotel rooms “violently shaking”.
