Dozens of firefighters are battling a wildfire that broke out on Thursday south of the town of Lavrio, southeast of Athens.
The fire has led to the evacuation of nearby villages, consisting mainly of vacation homes, as well as a summer camp.
Strong northerly winds are pushing the fire towards Sounion.
The Fire Service says that 49 firefighters, four helicopters and two fire-fighting aircraft are battling the flames.
