Another key development in Greece’s cruise industry is the increase in port fees, particularly in high-traffic destinations like Mykonos and Santorini.

Around 5,500 of Santorini's residents returned to the island over the past few weeks, resolved to adapt to the "new norm".

“The human brain under continuous stress functions like a car with its hazard lights permanently on—eventually, the battery drains. Similarly, human resilience collapses, exhibiting psychosomatic illnesses,” Psychiatry Professor Antonios Dakanalis told TO BHMA International Edition.

The program initially covers ten days of free accommodation for up to 200 families, with further assistance to be evaluated based on ongoing needs

Greek tourism remains largely unaffected by the Santorini earthquakes, as bookings by foreign tourists for all popular Greek destinations rose approximately 5% compared to the same period last year. However, in Santorini, new bookings have noticeably declined in recent days. During a recent board meeting of the Greek Tourism Confederation (SETE), attended by Antonis Pagonis, […]

A 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck Mount Athos, on the Athos peninsula in the northeastern Greece area at 18:11 local time on Saturday, February 15. According to the initial assessment by the Geodynamic Institute, the epicenter was located 8 kilometers northwest of Karyes, the administrative capital of the Monastic community, with a focal depth estimated at 5 […]

Internationally renowned Professor Costas Synolakis estimated that the nature of Friday’s Santorini earthquakes in the Aegean Sea indicated a “rise of volcanic magma”. Speaking to public broadcaster ERT on Saturday morning, the professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Southern California, and a member of the Academy of Athens underlined that “although the tremors […]

Following Santorini, Amorgos, and Anafi—already under emergency status due to ongoing earthquakes in the Aegean—Ios is now the fourth Cycladic island affected

As experts are piecing together all the available data to explain the Santorini earthquakes and the link to volcanic activity around the island in the Aegean Sea, Greek Professor of Geology and Sedimentology at the University of Patras Professor Avraam Zelilidis, explained the link between the tremors and the volcanic processes. Speaking to Greek TV […]

What is happening with the earthquakes in the Cyclades? How many earthquakes have there been? What are seismologists expecting next?

As the Santorini earthquakes continue unabated, Greek authorities have declared the small volcanic isle of Anafi, located east of the larger picturesque island, in a state of emergency. It is the third island declared in a state of emergency after Santorini, which has borne the brunt of the thousands of tremors over the past two […]

The double earthquake that occurred off Santorini—scientifically known as a doublet earthquake—is considered a significant seismic phenomenon.

Coulomb stress is key to assessing Santorini's earthquake risk, says Tselentis, warning magma movement may trigger faults, though Amorgos fault activation is uncertain.

As reported, a perfectly healthy baby boy was born, on Tuesday afternoon, delivered at Santorini Hospital.

The tremor was felt in some regions in Attica

In response to Santorini’s strongest tremor yet—a 5.3-magnitude earthquake—Greek seismologists agree that it is too early to say seismic activity is subsiding.
