Subsidence events can be fun, too (image I posted to you on another thread):

Although no significant ancient civilization was involved with that one, it seemed appropriate given your screen name! :-)
Most buildings in earthquake country have reinforced corners, windows and doors, so they are relatively safe from the shaking.
I’ll take my chances here, thanks!
‘Face

Yes, gorgeous. Lucky you.
My fave Greek island was Crete. The Minoan civilization was very interesting. Loved the museum there. and the ruins. Friends I went with said I looked like the queen. Hmmm, my Irish and Welsh ancestors are rethinking their origins. :}
“Get ready to rummmmmmblllllle!” ;^)
Glad you’re safe, although if it all goes wrong, I’d appreciate a call from under the rubble. I mean, c’mon, think of others. ;^)
Subsidence events have become more common as I’ve gotten older...
Hmm, maybe I should have looked at your other post first...
Wait a minute... did you move to Santorini?!?!? ;^)
Heheh - yeah... ;-)
Fascinating update, a quick YouTube video...

And if you want to geek out further...

Provides moment tensor solutions if available as well. And the info from the Santorini swarm is very interesting...
Thanks!
Sorta related update...
FWIW, given the ongoing seismic swarm in Aegean at the moment, using Souda Bay is an interesting choice...
English translation of the headline...
“Aircraft carrier “Harry Truman”: In Souda for emergency repairs after collision with merchant ship
According to information, the repairs concern damage found on the outer wall of two storage areas and a maintenance area.”
Update...
USS Truman arrives in Greece for repairs following recent collision
Update. Seismicity has declined, but looks like the Greeks aren’t putting much stock in that being good news yet. From today and my better late than never file...

Update, now that the tremors have tapered off, tourism is the worry...

Story doesn’t talk about all those new places built along/down the caldera without a permit...
Port access isn’t their only problem.
Still, I wouldn’t mind sailing past, or flying over, just to get a look at the island.
