A 50-year-old man was killed in central Athens early Thursday morning when he was hit by a car while trying to cross a busy avenue.

The man was jaywalking across the southbound lane of Alexandras Avenue at around 1 a.m. when he was struck by a car driven by a 44-year-old woman.

The Municipality of Halandri in northern Athens has hailed the ruling by the Council of State against the transfer of the Parnitha casino to the nearby suburb of Maroussi (at the Dilaveri estate) as a major victory.

Members of self-styled anarchist group Rouvikonas smashed the entrance of a restaurant in the north Athenian district of Halandri early Friday morning to protest alleged mistreatment of employees by the owner.

According to the police, a group of people threw paint and then fled.

The group claimed responsibility for the incident in a post on an anti-establishment website.

Funerals for victims of Greece's lethal wildfire have begun, with the burial of an elderly priest who drowned as he sought safety from the flames in the sea off the Mari coastal resort.

Hundreds attended Father Spyridon Papapostolous funeral Saturday in his parish of Halandri, a northern suburb of the Greek capital, AP reported.

The Regional Administration for Attica, which is part of the central government, on Wednesday provided the Municipality of Halandri with a list of 16 locations that Roma currently living in a camp next to the Nomismatokopeio metro station can move to.

Earlier this month, authorities knocked down uninhabited shacks at the camp but met resistance in their efforts to move the Roma.
