santorini earthquakes

Regarding the continuous seismic activity in Santorini Mitsotakis noted that scientists are now describing it as “an unprecedented phenomenon, with fluctuations in its intensity, making it impossible to safely predict its development at this time.”

Midweek, the oceanographic vessel AEGAEO set a course for Santorini’s active faults, in search of explanations for the unprecedented seismic sequences occurring in the heart of the volcanic zone.

The Greek seismologist expressed hope that any potential lava flow in the coming weeks would be mild rather than explosive, whether it occurs at Kolumbo or to the northeast near Anydro.

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, […]

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 […]

This development follows a meeting last week by the Turkey Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD), held in the context of Turkey’s alert regarding seismic activity in the Aegean

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

Thira Police Department has been reinforced with additional officers and patrol vehicles to ensure security across the island, including its most remote areas

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?

A renowned Greek seismologist is accusing the Greek government of turning a blind eye as developers recklessly build on unstable ground around Santorini’s caldera.

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 […]

Greek research vessel arrives in the Aegean to investigate ongoing seismic activity between Santorini and Amorgos.

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

Residents on Amorgos and Santorini are on high alert as experts warn that earthquake activity may continue for months.

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.

"Claims of a gradual weakening of the sequence—pushed by political figures and hotel industry interests—are not valid," says Tselentis on Facebook.

One of Greece's leading scientists says it’s too early to rule out a volcanic eruption around Santorini, but if it occurs, there will be clear warning signs.

Greek Labor Ministry measures aim to preserve jobs and provide financial support to workers and businesses on Santorini.
