ATHENS—Greek authorities ordered the evacuation of more villages threatened by a forest fire on May 20 as winds strengthened and firefighters battled the blaze, which had already scorched 20 square kilometres of woodland.
No deaths were reported as a result of the fire, which broke out during the night of May 19 in a forest at a small seaside holiday resort on the Gulf of Corinth, about 55 miles west of the capital, Athens.
