Fyli

– Greetings,

A wave of foreclosures is set to begin in early September, immediately after the August break. Notably, more than 11,000 electronic auctions of various categories are scheduled from this restart through the early months of 2025. The majority will involve real estate, ranging from houses, plots, and offices to industrial spaces, factories, hotels, and even helicopter hangars.

The Ministry of Culture is taking immediate measures to repair and support critical structural parts of the ancient Fyli Fortress on Mount Parnitha after the Central Archaeological Council (KAS) approved the architectural study for the restoration of the South Gate, the East Central Gate and two towers on either side.

Greek firefighters supported by aircraft battled a raging wildfire next to Athens for a second day on Wednesday, as the authorities said heat and strong winds could spark more blazes in a country where 20 people have already been killed.

Hundreds of firefighters struggled overnight to contain a wildfire on the outskirts of Athens, forcing more evacuations as authorities warned the risk of new blazes was high across the country on Wednesday.

Twenty people have been killed since fires erupted in northern Greece on Saturday and quickly spread, fanned by gale force winds in the second major outbreak of the summer.

Two horses were found dead at the bottom of cliffs in the Parnitha mountain range north of Athens.

On Saturday, the nonprofit Ippothesis Panhellenic Equine Welfare Society posted horrific images of the two horses found a few kilometers north of the municipality of Fyli by volunteers who feed stray animals in the area.

Responding to the new conditions and challenges that have been created in Attica and its peculiar ecosystems in recent years, the Environmental Association of Athens-Piraeus Municipalities has signed a memorandum of cooperation with the ANIMA animal care center for the more effective protection of wildlife.

Concerns have been raised over the safety of capital's old and new landfills at Fyli, northwestern Athens, after a report published on Wednesday described the situation as "desperate."

Consultancy professional Andreas Drymiotis made quite a revelation in an article published in Sunday's Kathimerini: According to a decision by three ministers in April 2015, the repayment of the debts three Attica municipal authorities owe to the state and the social security funds - totaling 535 million euros - was extended up to another 2,129 years (i.e. over 21 centuries from today).
