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 stopped within an hour and a half, it was clear that these were purely volcanic earthquakes.”
Additional precautions have been taken for exhibits housed in glass cases, as well as for large vessels and sculptures, which have been securely stabilized. Meanwhile, the antiquities at the Akrotiri archaeological site—renowned for their exceptional state of preservation—have been safeguarded and arranged in accordance with security requirements.
In a special report focusing primarily on the political developments in the U.S. and their ramifications for Greece, the systemic bank made special reference to how much Greece’s tourism sector might suffer from the Santorini earthquakes.
The report, conducted by the MTC Group and based on Hellenic Statistical Authority data, indicates that Santorini outperformed all other Cycladic islands, despite experiencing a 9% decline in comparison to the same period last year.
According to MSN, the largest island of the Cyclades is one of Europe’s “hidden” destinations that can still offer unforgettable experiences to visitors from all over the world.
These islands – Milos, Crete, Corfu, and Paros – have earned praise for their natural attractions, activities, gastronomy, and the overall experience they offer visitors. This recognition highlights Greece’s enduring appeal and confirms its position as a top summer paradise.
