The Greek region is known as one of the most seismically and
tectonically active areas and it has been struck by some devastating
tsunamis, with the most prominent one being the 365 AD event. During the
past decade significant research efforts have been made in search of
geological and geomorphological evidence of palaeotsunamis along the
Greek coasts, primarily through the examination of sediment corings
(72% of studies) and secondarily through boulders (i.e., 18%). The
published data show that some deposits have been correlated with
well-known events such as 365 AD, 1303 AD, the Minoan Santorini Eruption
and the 1956 Amorgos earthquake and tsunami, while coastal studies from
western Greece have also reported up to five tsunami events, dating as
far back as the 6th millennium BC. Although the Ionian Islands,
Peloponnese and Crete has been significantly studied, in the Aegean
region research efforts are still scarce. Recent events such as the 1956
earthquake and tsunami and the 2020 Samos earthquake and tsunami
highlight the need for further studies in this region, to better assess
the impact of past events and for improving our knowledge of tsunami
history. As Greece is amongst the most seismically active regions
globally and has suffered from devastating tsunamis in the past, the
identification of tsunami prone areas is essential not only for the
scientific community but also for public authorities to design
appropriate mitigation measures and prevent tsunami losses in the
future.
