it’s February right now. Those residents will all return once it’s deemed to be safe by the relevant authorities. Do you really think that the residents of Santorini want to be away from their homes and livelihoods for any longer than is absolutely necessary? I doubt it. Plus they’ve been through this before. June is a very long way away. If we canceled vacations because of things like this nobody would go anywhere.

I think everybody is worrying too much. In my opinion there's no reason to be concerned. There haven't been any big earthquakes greater than 5 , and the small tremors noticed in early February have already lessened. Right now, there are visitors in Santorini. There's no proof that a major earthquake is about to happen.
I know reports sound scary, but they're probably exaggerated. Remember, the media often makes things sound worse than they are. Thankfully, we have the internet to give us accurate and current information. |

I read there is a lot of seismic activity on Santorini. Is this something that happens regularly? Or should I be concerned about a trip I have planned for June.?
