Santorini, Greece—The iconic white-and-blue paradise of Santorini, known for its sunsets and volcanic landscapes, is now in crisis mode. 🚨 The island’s government declared a state of emergency late February 6 following hundreds of undersea earthquakes, including a 5.2-magnitude tremor that rattled the region a day earlier.
Authorities are urging residents and tourists to avoid coastal areas amid fears of landslides or tsunamis. 🌊 'Safety is our priority,' said a local official. 'We’re assessing structural damage and coordinating evacuations if needed.'
