Shortly before 3:30 p.m., the Samos airport reopened. Infrastructure Secretary-General George Karagiannis is also heading to the area with a group of engineers.
Much of the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin in Karlovasi collapsed due to the strong earthquake. It is one of the largest temples in the Balkans.
According to SKAI journalist Giorgos Avtias, most of the houses that collapsed on the island are old and abandoned in Pythagorion, Karlovasi and the capital. The first attempts are made to record the damage.
