Peloponnese Peninsula

With at least 78 dead and hundreds more feared missing after the sinking of a rusty trawler off Greece's Peloponnese peninsula Wednesday, questions are being asked if more could have been done to prevent the tragedy.

Police in Athens have arrested two men, a Greek and a Bulgarian, on suspicion of accidentally starting a wildfire that ravaged the capital's northeastern outskirts, the fire department said today.

At least two villages were evacuated in Greece's southern Peloponnese peninsula, officials said today as a large wildfire broke out in the early morning, fanned by strong winds.
