By
In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Experiencing approximately  600 earthquakes  with magnitudes between 4.0 and 5.0 in just one week (Jan 28 to Feb 4, 2025) is an unprecedented phenomenon for Santorini (Greece), a popular tourist destination in the Aegean Sea.

It has raised concerns among both the local population and    scientific  communities.
