Share on:

A major landslide occurred in Imerovigli, Santorini, on Sunday, causing concern and prompting authorities to take action.

According to experts, the landslide is due to intense construction activity in the area, which is geologically unstable. Construction work for a new building was also underway at the time of the landslide.

The incident was captured on video by local residents, highlighting the dangers of unregulated development and excessive tourism pressure on the island. Experts emphasize the need for immediate measures and strict controls on construction activity to protect the environment and the safety of residents.

This phenomenon underscores the fragility of the balance on the island, as Santorini is also affected by constant seismic activity.
