Authorities in Santorini, Greece, have taken precautionary measures in response to increased seismic activity on the island. As a result, schools in Santorini will remain closed on Monday as a safety measure. In addition to school closures, officials have advised against large gatherings in enclosed spaces throughout the island.

Geological monitoring stations have reported tremors measuring up to 4.6 in magnitude over the past few days, with additional quakes of 4.3 and 3.9 magnitude in nearby areas on Sunday morning. Despite being located on the Hellenic Volcanic Arc, authorities have confirmed that the recent seismic activity is not linked to volcanic eruptions. The last major eruption in Santorini occurred in 1950, and experts have noted that the current seismic movements are already beginning to subside.

To further ensure public safety, officials have issued warnings to avoid the ports of Ammoudi and Fira, where large cruise ships often dock. These additional preventative measures are being implemented as authorities closely monitor the ongoing seismic developments.

Santorini holds historical significance in terms of seismic activity, as the island’s landscape was formed by one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history around 1600 BC. While Santorini remains a site of geological interest, experts continue to monitor the activity to protect residents and visitors alike.

As authorities remain on high alert, it is crucial for individuals on the island to follow safety guidelines and stay informed about the latest developments regarding the seismic activity. By taking these precautions, the authorities aim to ensure the well-being of everyone on Santorini during this period of increased seismic activity.
