Greece’s iconic island of Santorini, famous for its sun-drenched cliffs and azure waters, is now making headlines for a different reason: increased volcanic activity. The country’s Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Ministry detected \"mild seismic-volcanic activity\" in the island’s caldera, sparking precautionary meetings between officials and disaster response teams.
Sensors first picked up the tremors this week, prompting officials to review safety protocols. But don’t cancel your travel plans just yet! Similar activity occurred in 2011 and lasted over a year without causing harm. \"We’re monitoring closely,\" a ministry spokesperson said. \"There’s no immediate danger, but preparedness is key.\"
For travelers and island residents, the news is a reminder of Santorini’s fiery origins—the island itself was shaped by a massive volcanic eruption 3,600 years ago. Stay tuned for updates as scientists keep watch over the Aegean’s sleeping giant.
