Continuous Quakes Rock Santorini: Schools Shut, Flights Surge Amid Travel Chaos
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

All educational institutions (schools) on the Greek island of Santorini are closed indefinitely as dozens of tremors – including six above magnitude 4.0 – continue rattling the Cyclades archipelago.

Local authorities are saying the shutdown aligns with Greek earthquake safety guidelines which prioritizes student and staff protection.

Airlines have added 12 emergency flights from Santorini International Airport to Athens and European hubs like London and Frankfurt to help tourists and residents who are fleeing the seismic activity.

Earlier today, the Greek Civil Aviation Authority confirmed that flights were now operating at 130% capacity, but travelers are advised to expect delays due to ongoing earthquake-related disruptions.

Geologists Warn of Potential Volcanic Activity Link

Seismologists from the National Observatory of Athens are investigating whether the tremors emanated from Santorini’s volcanic caldera, which last erupted in 1950.

One seismologist, Dr. Maria Kassimi said, “The Aegean Sea tectonic plate is highly active, but sustained quakes near a volcanic island warrant caution.”

Greek Government Deploys Emergency Response Teams

The Hellenic Coast Guard has stationed rescue ships near Santorini, while the Greek Ministry of Climate Crisis activated emergency shelters in Crete.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis urged calm, stating, “We’re monitoring Santorini seismic activity 24/7 to ensure public safety.”

Travel Advisories Issued for Aegean Islands

The U.S. Embassy in Athens and UK Foreign Office updated advisories, warning travelers to avoid non-essential trips to Santorini and nearby islands like Ios and Naxos until the earthquake swarm subsides.
