Police claim some protesters attacked officers, throwing Molotov cocktails and firing flares, which caused at least 15 small fires to break out.
Police said they seized more than 50 firebombs before and during the protests. Protesters say the fires were caused by police firing tear gas canisters.
Locals are protesting mining in the area by Hellenic Gold, a subsidiary of Canadian firm Eldorado Gold. They say it will cause irreversible damage to the environment.
