The second largest city in has evacuated around 75,000 people to clear the way for experts to defuse a 500lb (226kg) unexploded Second World War bomb.
One resident recalled the day it fell:
“The bombing was done by English and American planes on September 17, 1944. It was Sunday lunchtime,” said Giorgos Gerasimou, 86, whose home is half a mile away. He said the Allies were targeting local German rail facilities and he remembers the day clearly because one of his 10-year-old friends was killed in the bombing. Nazi Germany occupied Greece from 1941 until October 1944.
