Schools reopen on four Greek islands as earthquake swarm subsides

·

Schools on the Cycladic islands of Santorini, Ios, Amorgos, and Anafi will reopen today after being closed for weeks due to a major earthquake swarm that affected the region from late January to mid-February.

According to Ekathimerini, while minor tremors continue, experts believe the phenomenon is subsiding, allowing life to return to normal after the Clean Monday break.

Inspections confirmed that public buildings withstood the seismic activity, and safety measures have been reinforced.

Residents are advised to remain cautious regarding travel routes and to check for any damage to homes and businesses.
