The strongest earthquake yet after days of near-constant tremors has been recorded near the island of Santorini, the famous Greek tourist haven now almost emptied of visitors and residents.

A series of earthquakes on Santorini has prompted thousands of people to leave the Greek tourist island since early 2025. Against this backdrop, some social media users were sharing old, out-of-context images and wrongly linking them to the tremors on the island.

Mitsotakis's remarks come as many people in Santorini spent Sunday night outdoors, amid fears of potential damages to buildings during the quakes. Some focal points of the tremors have been recorded at a depth of just 2km (1.2miles) below the surface.
