Forest fires in Greece

Dozens of firefighters were sent to tackle a large fire that broke out on Saturday afternoon near the seaside resort town of Loutraki, 81 kilometers west of Athens.

A large wildfire on the Greek island of Zakynthos fanned by strong winds forced the evacuation of two villages on Sunday.

No fatalities were reported, and the winds were not expected to subside before Tuesday.
