The picturesque island of Santorini is facing a crisis as it experiences an unprecedented seismic swarm, with over 12,800 earthquakes recorded in just ten days. The recent quakes, including a powerful 5.3 magnitude tremor, have left the island largely deserted, with many residents fleeing in fear. Experts warn of potential volcanic eruptions and tsunamis as seismic activity continues to shake the region. In response to the escalating situation, the Greek government has announced support measures for local workers and has deployed new earthquake monitoring tools. Emergency declarations have been made on Santorini and a second island, prompting questions about the safety of travel to these areas. Tourists are left to wonder about refund policies should they choose to cancel their trips amidst ongoing uncertainty.
