Athens - At least seven luxury yachts were destroyed in a fire at a marina near Athens on Friday.
Fire fighting crews rushed to the scene after the yachts, moored next to each other, were engulfed in flames, shooting 15 metres into the air.
No one was aboard the burning boats and it took firefighters about 30 minutes to get the fire under control.
Damage to the yachts was estimated at several million euros.
Investigators are working to determine how the fire started.
