Did an Athens apartment explosion kill six people including four American tourists in September 2026?

Yes. On September 25, 2026, an early-morning explosion collapsed a two-storey apartment building in Athens’ historic Plaka district near the Acropolis. Emergency teams recovered six bodies more than 24 hours later—three women and three men—including four American tourists staying in a short-term rental and a British man and his Greek wife who lived upstairs.

Officials said they were still investigating the cause, with a gas leak among the theories under review. Source: The Guardian.
