Santorini has turned into a ghost town: Earthquakes and seismic activity have forced residents to leave

Santorini Island, one of Greece's leading tourist destinations with its white-washed, cube-shaped architecture, is going through difficult days due to successive earthquakes and seismic activity.

While a state of emergency has been declared across the island due to seismic and volcanic activity, the town of Fira, which has been abandoned by its residents, was captured on camera.

With only a few cats and a small number of people seen on the empty streets, the island resembles a ghost town.

Experts have warned that, in addition to the earthquake risk, heavy rainfall in the region could also trigger landslides.

Stating that the process of landslide risk analysis is underway for Santorini and the surrounding islands, experts emphasize that authorities must take the necessary precautions quickly.

Although experts state that the seismic activity in the Aegean Sea is nearing its end, authorities have announced that education has been suspended for another week on 4 islands.
