With stares full of agony and horror, they arrived on Tuesday morning (04.02.2025) at the port of Piraeus, the residents and tourists who left the island due to the successive events. The earthquakes that hammered Santorini forced over 9,000 people to pack their things and move away from the island because the vibrations do not seem to be cutting in the immediate future. DIVERSITY Footage from the videos that came out in the “light”, shows residents coming off the ship “Kissamos” that made an emergency route to remove all the above citizens from the island. Having a lot of luggage with them and holding their terrified children out of their hands, people talked to the cameras saying they were too scared. “Last night there was an earthquake 4.6 and from that point we decided to leave. We were sleeping outside, we were very scared, I have children young,” said one man, stressing that there is a serious problem with the availability of tickets. CORVERSE “We have to be accommodated, it was at first expensive tickets, but complaints were made, police came and lowered prices. Something similar (e.g. with earthquakes) had been done in 2011, but not so loud to fear,” said another woman, describing the problems with which the residents and tourists of Santorini faced. At the same time, the nightmare that residents live in Santorini and their relatives who do not live on the island but are anxious for them, describes the look of a woman waiting in the port of Piraeus for her two nephews. With a trembling voice and scared, she explained to the camera that her entire family and friends remain in Santorini since they do not find tickets. As she explained, her family managed to book two ferry tickets and these were given to the children of the family to get them even away from the island. “I think everything’s going well. There are no tickets. My sister and my son-in-law are left behind and my nephews are coming alone. There are no tickets for those who want to leave. We’re worried. My whole family is in Santorini, he wants attention. We don’t know what’s going on. With a message of 112, it doesn’t change anything, it just creates concern. There must be respect for all those who live permanently in Santorini,” she explained to the camera deeply concerned.
