The latest news on Greece. Santorini, Greece's iconic tourist destination, has reopened its doors to the world, as the first cruise ship of the season docked on Sunday, signalling a return to normalcy after the wave of earthquakes.
The seismic activity, which had caused significant concern and led to emergency measures, had left locals fearing a lost tourist season. With millions flocking to Santorini every year, the island's economy is deeply reliant on tourism.
The Celestyal Discovery cruise, carrying around 1,700 tourists, marked a hopeful beginning as passengers expressed confidence in the island's safety. For now, it remains to be seen how the recovery will unfold in the coming months.
