Schools in Santorini, Ios, Anafi, and Amorgos will remain closed at least until February 21, 2025, as the Greek government prepares for another meeting to assess seismic risks in the Aegean Sea near Santorini. Over 1 300 earthquakes were recorded with a magnitude above 3.0 in the sea area near Anydros since the beginning of the month, with the strongest reaching M5.3. The government also announced plans to build an emergency escape port in Santorini in addition to the new port under development.
Greece’s Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection held a critical meeting to address an ongoing seismic swarm in the Aegean Sea on February 16. The session, led by Professor Efthimios Lekkas, president of the Organization of Anti-Seismic Planning and Protection (OASP), brought together key officials and scientists to evaluate the situation and coordinate a response.
With thousands of earthquakes recorded since early February, the government is taking proactive steps to ensure public safety and bolster infrastructure. The strongest event in the series that started in late January was the M5.3 quake at 13:04 UTC on February 4.
According to scientists from the Permanent Scientific Committee for Seismic Hazard Assessment and Seismic Risk Reduction and the Permanent Scientific Committee for Monitoring the Greek Volcanic Arc, this swarm is driven by submarine faults trending northeast-southwest.
These faults are influenced by regional tectonic forces and underlying magmatic activity, raising concerns about potential escalation. The committees plan to reconvene on February 21 at 18:00 LT to analyze updated seismic data and reassess risk levels.

All of these Greek earthquakes, thinking of Apollyon as mentioned in Revelation 9:11 resulting in the opening of the bottomless pit.
