But he said that April was likely to be a \u201cmiserable\u201d month for tourism revenues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Yannoulatos, who hosted visitors from South Korea at the height of the quake crisis in mid-February, said that occupancy at his hotels was 30 percent for April, with reservations for May and the summer months expected to rise to about 50 percent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Maria Manousoudaki, who owns the cliff-side Alti Suites in the island\u2019s southwest, said that bookings were \u201ccoming in dribs and drabs\u201d for the next couple of months, but that she would be opening half full this week, with visitors from Britain, France and Israel and the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The island, which has a population of 15,500 and typically hosts more than three million visitors annually, had previously worried about over-tourism, and even this week, the authorities launching Santorini\u2019s tourism campaign insisted on the importance of \u201csustainable\u201d tourism. As of June 1, cruise ship visitors must pay a charge of 20 euros, about $21.50, a measure approved last year to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/08\/world\/europe\/greece-cruise-ships-tourists-islands.html\" title=\"\">reduce the strain of excessive crowds on the island<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But a few weeks ago, thousands of earthquakes rattled the island, sometimes every few minutes, sending most residents fleeing. The authorities <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/03\/world\/europe\/greece-earthquake-islands-santorini.html\" title=\"\">closed schools and deployed emergency services to the region<\/a>, and experts scrambled to interpret the tremors, which peaked with a 5.3-magnitude temblor on Feb. 10.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As the quakes eased in late February and early March, residents returned, schools reopened and hoteliers resumed renovations in preparation for Easter and summer visitors. Now, most tremors are less than magnitude 3, basically imperceptible, and life on the island is returning to normal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Yet the quake phenomenon remains unexplained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe still haven\u2019t come to a conclusion about the causes,\u201d Athanassios Ganas, the research director at the National Observatory of Athens\u2019 geodynamics institute, said this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some cliff-side areas that are prone to landslides will remain off limits until May 15 as earthquake experts seek ways to minimize risk, Mayor Nikos Zorzos told reporters at the launch of the island\u2019s tourism campaign at the Acropolis Museum in Athens on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019ll be a bit of numbness at the beginning, but the season has opened \u2014 we\u2019re ready,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Greece\u2019s tourism minister, Olga Kefalogianni, told the event that Santorini was \u201creturning to normality\u201d and that it \u201cremains a safe and hospitable destination,\u201d adding that the safety of residents and visitors \u201cis our absolute priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The quake crisis has also affected the island\u2019s seasonal work force, with the tremors adding to longstanding concerns by workers over the long hours required at summer resorts and a lack of year-round benefits like health insurance, said Giorgos Diamantopoulos, the general secretary of Santorini\u2019s association of traders and business professionals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Recruitment has already begun for the 25,000 seasonal workers whom the island\u2019s tourism sector relies on, he said, adding that hires so far have been from Albania, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and the Philippines. Labor ministry statistics showed that just over 2,600 workers were hired in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the meantime, scientists are trying to understand the recent earthquakes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Researchers are using seismic monitors and remote-controlled underwater vehicles to study the tremors and the area\u2019s volcanoes \u2014 though they stress that no major eruption is expected, the last one having occurred 3,500 years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And on Monday evening, foreign scientists joined their Greek counterparts by video link for a discussion in Athens to analyze the tremors and mild volcanic activity with the help of artificial intelligence. They agreed on one thing: The earthquake sequence was unprecedented and remarkable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As for the prospects for a strong quake occurring, Mr. Ganas said the data suggested that it was unlikely, even as the region has the potential for a temblor of up to a magnitude of 7.1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The island\u2019s hoteliers are bracing for both geological and financial turmoil, although Ms. Manousoudaki said she was more worried about monetary losses than a possible large earthquake, given the resilience of Santorini\u2019s buildings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s true that many buildings on the caldera are basically clinging to the cliffs,\u201d she said. \u201cBut they\u2019re built to withstand earthquakes,\u201d she added. \u201cI feel safer here than I would in Athens.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
