While the situation at eastern Attica had improved by Tuesday sunset, as a precautionary move, authorities evacuated three communities near Loutraki and a children's camp in the Alepochori area in western Attica, as the fire in Kineta, 50 km west of Athens, picked up on Tuesday, Greek national news agency AMNA reported.

The blaze which started on Monday noon at this resort town has also scorched down a pine forest and dozens of homes, according to the Fire Service.
