Experts advise tourists not to fear, but who are on alert, after the fading that shakes Greece
propagandaand Size earthquake 6.1 shook the Crete coast on ThursdayAfter a little more than a week after a The submarine tremor Similar to Al -Jazeera, he felt in distant places like Egypt. In February, A series of tremors I felt almost near Santorini’s ideal island, which declared a state of emergency for the unusual seismic activity.
Although the Crete earthquake The authorities were forced to issue a tsunami alert It has caused damage to the island’s historic port buildings, experts claim that there is no evidence that the last group of tremors is linked or assumes an unusually important threat to security.
“Every time you go to Greece, you go to an active area of seismic aspect.” “The dangers are not much greater than yesterday or in February“.
however, Tourists who prepare a visit to the Aegean Islands must be ready And read the trends about the best way to protect themselves in the event of these tremors, which can be annoying.
“The most likely cause of injuries is the fall of things if you are inside. So you need it Protection of obtaining a table “And avoid open areas whenever possible,” says Buso.
“The earthquake of this size does not automatically cause injuries, but the roof tiles or balconies can do this if they collapsed. So you have to know how to act during the earthquake, and above all, listen to what the authorities say.” An alert is automatically activated in the Mediterranean Sea in the event of an underwater earthquake in size 6Bosso explains.
“Usually, a large tsunami cannot be expected, for this level, for this level, What is recommended not to enter the ports because you can create a spiral And do not go to the beach because there can be some height at sea level. “
An extraordinary seismic activity in Santorini
On Thursday, Rhasha felt wide on all islands Aegean Mar and in some areas of the Greek capital, Athens. Al -Jazeera residents announced that the Greek newspaper, which woke up with disturbing tremors and described after they heard a strong roar after the symmetrical copies.
However, the fact that it occurred in the sea caused its damage, as it was in the end slim, according to “Open TV”, director of the Geological Dynamics Institute of the National Observatory in Athens, Vasilis Carraste.
“I think it is likely to develop exactly what appears to be, with a A very weak post -thirst sequence“Psychologists in the Mediterranean country were watching this phenomenon.
It was more unusual, the earthquake near the volcanic Santorini island in FebruaryWhich witnessed an intense seismic activity known as the “seismic squadron”. According to Bossu, there was a clear volcanic element in tremors. Thousands of people have escaped from the destination of famous holidays, which since then He launched measures to protect a possible volcanic eruption.
Seismologist Nikolaus Melis, director of the Geological Dynamics Institute research, was informed under the National Observatory of Athens, “Eurono”, despite the large number of rivers in a short period of time, Researchers have no reason to believe that Greece will suffer soon from a devastating earthquake soon. However, the great earthquakes, such as Crete, who killed a person in 2021, are impossible to predict.
The Greek islands are located, especially west Near the border between African tectonic paintings and the euroThey are places with great seismic activity and are usually well prepared for the risks of final tremors.
propaganda“For people who are not aware, it can be terrifying, and though this It is not impossible to have a great earthquake“Most buildings and hotels follow the strict construction code that protects them from damage,” Melis says.
“Greece has the greatest seismic activity in Europe And the side of Türkiye we have two countries with a very high activity. But as I said, the great, catastrophic sizes are very rare. “
