Landslide in Imerovigli, Santorini: Concerns Over Construction Activity

A major landslide occurred in Imerovigli, Santorini on Sunday, causing concern among residents and visitors. A section of land collapsed, covering the area with a thick cloud of dust. The incident was captured on video.

Experts point out that the area is geologically unstable and burdened by intense construction activity. Work on the construction of new buildings in the area is believed to have contributed to the landslide.

Experts emphasize the need for immediate measures to limit construction activity and strict controls to protect the environment and human life. They mention that Santorini is an island with vulnerable geomorphology and overdevelopment increases the risk of landslides.

This incident highlights the limits of anarchic development on the island, which faces problems from tourist pressure and seismic activity.
