Santorini back in business??

Seismic activity does not care about people's opinions. You have to wait and see. In the meantime do not book anything you cannot cancel.

I think it is much of a wait and see at this point. I also have plans to visit Santorini in September with free hotel cancellation. I am not really worried right now, but I am not booking any day trips just in case I have to reschedule that part of my trip. I do already have airline tickets from London to Santorini and Santorini back to Athens. I could perhaps get those changed for a fee, but its too early in the year for me to make those kind of decision.

Living here, I’ve experienced firsthand the uncertainty that comes with all this media frenzy. The truth is, no one really knows why there’s been an increase in seismic activity lately, and that uncertainty is what led many of us to leave Santorini for a while. A lot of us went to Athens for a few weeks, but now most have returned.

The reality is that nature doesn’t follow a schedule—earthquakes and natural events are unpredictable. Since we can’t control that, the likelihood of a major earthquake in September is no different than in any other month or year.

So the real question is: does the minor risk outweigh the experience of visiting? If you're thinking about risks, flying these days might actually be more of a concern than coming to Santorini.

As George_santo said, it looks like things are returning to normal. Here is an article from Greece: https://greekreporter.com/2025/02/25/seismic-activity-santorini-declines-thousands-return-greek-island/

I too have seen in articles and social media that thousands have returned to Santorini, which hasn’t been reported n the news media. It’s seismic activity and nothing more. It’s been happening for more than a millennia and will continue for and other millennia and then some.
