Thousands Flee Greek Island as Unprecedented Earthquakes Rock Popular Tourist Destination

Santorini Evacuations as Earthquakes Continue

Thousands have fled Santorini as hundreds of earthquakes shake the popular Greek island. No injuries or damage have been reported, but the intense seismic activity is unprecedented in recent history.

Over 7,000 people have left the island by sea and air, with schools closed and ferry services increased. While some tourists remain calm, others have opted to leave until the tremors subside.

Experts say the current phenomenon is not linked to volcanic activity, and a major earthquake is unlikely. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has appealed for calm, while acknowledging the intensity of the situation.

With tourist season approaching, businesses hope the disruption will be short-lived. As long as the tremors subside, Santorini should be ready to welcome visitors again soon.
