A series of earthquakes on Santorini has prompted thousands of people to leave the Greek tourist island since early February 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.

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

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.
