Limni

The quest for a Krüper's Nuthatch is what stirs all the excitement.

With a total amount of 10,150,000 euros, 22 Municipalities, two municipal enterprises and four Regions of the country are subsidized, to support the fire victims and the restoration of the damages from the fires of the last weeks.

Health officials said several firefighters and volunteers had been hospitalized with burns. Many settlements meanwhile face electricity problems, while the national road from Athens to Lamia is closed.

A 31-year-old migrant smuggler was arrested on Saturday after a car chase near the village of Limni outside Thessaloniki in northern Greece.

A high-speed chase began on the Egnatia highway after he ignored a request by police to pull over. However, his car, with 10 migrants inside, veered off the road into a field. He ran off but police soon caught up with him.
