Twelve municipalities in Greece have advanced to the next phase of property value reassessments by private evaluators under the Ministry of Finance.

These municipalities, including Ag. Anargyroi-Kamatero, Vrilissia, Halandri, Glyfada, Piraeus, Ithaca, Karpathos, Loutraki, Symi, Pyrgos, Rhodes and Astypalea, seek to lower property tax values, arguing they exceed market rates.

Three individuals sustained minor injuries after a nine-vehicle pileup on Alimou Avenue in southern Athens at its junction with Vouliagmenis Avenue.

The average asking price of houses in the districts of Athens with the best evaluation ranges from 2,759 to 5,645 euros per square meter, based on a series of criteria that affect accommodation.

In the aftermath of the triple homicide at the offices of the European Navigation shipping firm in Glyfada, southern Athens, last Monday, the motive of the perpetrator, Aristides el Burai, has yet to be clarified.

The ultimatum of the shipowning family to the 75-year-old foreman to leave the house he had been given to live in and his dismissal from the company a few days prior was, it seems, what led him to the triple murder - the owner of the shipping company Maria Karnesi, managing director Antonis Vlassakis and ship captain Ilias Koukoularis - at the firm's offices in Glyfada, southern Athens on Monda
