More than 11,000 people have already left the island of Santorini following a series of tremors in recent days.

A series of earthquakes on Santorini has prompted thousands of people to leave the Greek tourist island since early 2025. Against this backdrop, some social media users were sharing old, out-of-context images and wrongly linking them to the tremors on the island.

Greece has declared a state of emergency on Santorini after a series of earthquakes shook the popular tourist island this week and prompted more than 10,000 residents and workers to evacuate.
