Greece battles wildfire in coastal town near capital

Greek firefighters on June 26, 2025 battle a wildfire that burned residences and holiday houses near the coastal town of Palaia Fokaia, 40 kilometers south of Athens, forcing people to flee. Fires have burnt throughout the week in Greece, on Europe's hot, southernmost fringe, where frequent wildfires and floods in recent years have been exacerbated by a changing climate. In the area of Palaia Fokaia, 130 firefighters were supported by 12 aircraft and 12 helicopters as they sought to put out flames that were whipped up by high winds.
