What kind of alarmist are you OP? I mean yes maybe if you have a vacation there in the next couple of weeks you would want to monitor but there’s no reason at this time to blankets cancel vacations to Greece!

| It's a big country. Plenty of itineraries that do not include Santorini. |

The last time there was a major earthquake in Santorini, it blew Atlantis to smithereens. |

It has a dramatic geological history. |

| Santorini is an island the size of a postage stamp. There’s plenty of other places to go. |

The 1956 Greece earthquake caused destruction and deaths on two islands and a 25 meter tsunami (that's a huge tsunami). If I were scheduled for a Greek isles cruise I would postpone. Most buildings on the islands weren't built to withstand a major seismic event, and it's a very seismically vulnerable area. Also they don't need tourists around while they try to help actual residents prepare. |

Don’t go to Turkey, you’ll get abducted or trip on Russians |

| Santorini is a wonderful place. So sad to hear this. We swam in the caldera when we were there a few years ago. Not sore if so that now, even before hearing this. |

Tectonic, not volcanic, tremors. Some quite strong, and almost constant. It’s making life difficult for the islanders. |

Seriously. It’s like saying “cancel your trip to the US, there are earthquakes in San Francisco!” |
