The second round of demolitions of illegal buildings in Attica started on Monday with the tearing down of a beach bar operated by a hotel on the beach of Anavyssos.

Alternate Environment and Energy Minister Sokratis Famellos said on Wednesday the government will take measures to prevent possible legal 'loopholes' for the construction of illegal buildings on land burned by the wildfires that have swept through Attica and other regions of Greece.
