    The mayor of Lefkada, Konstantinos Drakondaidis, raised the number of buildings burned by a blaze which broke out this morning in the old center of the town to 10 from an initial estimate of seven on Monday, adding that a municipal crew is recording damages.

    "Ten buildings have burned from the fire which was fully contained in the afternoon," he told ANA-MPA. "Thankfully, no lives were threatened. If the fire brigade, municipal employees and volunteers hadn't intervened as quickly as they did, the entire old town could have been destroyed," he added.
