The cruise ship of the Viking Ocean Cruises shipping company did not start on Monday with the island of Santorini, but instead the port of the city of Chania in Crete. The reason: the ongoing series of earthquakes.
Especially in the summer months, cruise passengers storm the island, a record was recorded last August with more than 15,500 people within one day. The island community wants to enforce a limitation of 8,000 cruise tourists per day due to the high numbers.
Schools remain closed
But now it could be that there are no cruise ships for the time being – because the earth still vibrates several times per hour and with tips from the power 5.
When and how the phenomenon ends, seismologists and geologists cannot predict. There can also be a larger earthquake, it is always said of the experts.

This week, the schools in Santorini and the adjacent Isolates of iOS, Anafi and Amorgos will remain closed after the government has been resolved.
Most population – especially women, children and the elderly – left the island and brought themselves to safety on the mainland.
