Since late January 2025, Santorini has faced significant seismic activity, with thousands of earthquakes recorded culminating in a magnitude 5.2 quake, prompting a state of emergency. This is the strongest earthquake since the tremors began. The island, known for its volcanic history, has a previous major earthquake in 1956 that resulted in fatalities. Current tremors are concentrated in a growing cluster between Santorini and surrounding islands, but seismic activity being underwater poses less immediate danger to residents.
Santorini has been experiencing thousands of earthquakes since late January, culminating in a magnitude 5.2 quake, leading to a state of emergency on the island.
The Santorini-Amorgos earthquake swarm has produced over 1,000 individual events since its beginning, with seismic activity concentrated between Santorini and nearby islands.
