Greece Issues Increased Seismic Activity Warning in Santorini

Authorities urge precautionary measures after series of tremors near the volcanic island of Santorini
Greek authorities have issued a warning following increased seismic activity near the Aegean island of Santorini, advising residents and visitors to take precautionary measures.

A series of tremors, with magnitudes reaching up to 4.3, were recorded on Friday and Saturday in the region between Santorini and Amorgos.

The Civil Protection Ministry confirmed that the seismic activity was not linked to volcanic events but recommended closing schools on Monday, February 5, 2025, and advised people to avoid the small ports of Ammoudi and Fira, particularly those serving cruise ships.

The tremors, which ranged from magnitudes 2.8 to 4.5, continued into Sunday morning but caused no damage.

Greece, situated on several fault lines, is frequently affected by seismic activity.

Santorini, one of the country’s top tourist destinations, was formed by one of the largest eruptions in history around 1600 BC. The last eruption in the area occurred in 1950.
