Santorini welcomes first cruise ship of season after February’s increased seismic activity
The first cruise ship of the season arrived at the island of Santorini on Sunday, March 23, following waves of earthquakes in February, which caused cruise ships to divert to other islands, forced people to flee, and raised concerns about the tourism season.
Tourists expressed excitement about returning to Santorini and said they were reassured by the government’s safety assurances, while locals, including shop owner Tassos Kontos, said they hopeful that the island’s tourism would bounce back.

00:00It's exciting, yeah, to know that the island's open again and we get to visit first.
00:17It's safe.
00:18Yeah.
00:19Yeah.
00:20That's so good.
00:21Oh, excuse me.
00:22But I knew that we wouldn't come if it wasn't safe.
00:31Your government, I think, said it was safe, so I felt comfortable coming, yeah.
00:44We love being the first cruise ship that got the chance to come to Santorini.
00:48We feel really blessed.
01:05I've been here before, and yes, it's kind of unusual how you've redone where we stop,
01:13where we go, but you've worked it out in the midst of all of your shakes around here.
01:19So I think you've done a good job.
01:49Yeah.
02:14We trust the tourism board here, and so if they said it was safe to come, we came with
02:18open arms.
