Earthquakes in Santorini: Terrified residents and tourists of the island arrive in Piraeus – “We were very scared yesterday”

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. “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.
