After reports of fights breaking out as tourists tried to leave the Greek island, one young family have spoken of their terrible experience with the departure lounge “like a football terrace”

A man has described so-called ‘coronavirus safe’ Rhodes airport as complete carnage after returning to the UK.

Stuart Winslow was heading home from the Greek island with his wife and seven-year-old daughter.

But he said the departure lounge was “like a football terrace” – despite officials suggesting the airport is one of the safest in the world, reports Leicestershire Live.

It comes after video footage showed fights breaking out as tourists were crushed together as they tried to leave on Saturday.

Angry holiday makers complained of a lack of staff on hand to help with huge queues.

Some said social distancing was impossible to achieve as the atmosphere turned toxic.
