Worried about going to Greece next week now due to earthquake risk

[Greycat11]

We are due to go to Zante next week, I'm now worried about the risk of earthquake aftershocks after the earthquake in Kos yesterday.
I know it's a completely different part of Greece and over 300 miles away, but still.
Am I being daft?!
The stupid thing is, I knew Zakynthos Town was flattened by a massive earthquake in the fifties but never gave it a thought when we went before.
Would you still go on this holiday? We've been looking forward to it for months.

It is a completely different part of Greece so worrying about after shocks is unreasonable.

The risk of an earthquake anywhere in Greece still remains. Having lived through a few they are extremely scary but casualties are rare.

Same risk as yesterday. Greece gets regular shakes, this one only made the news due to non Greek casualties. Fatalities are rare.

I'm off to zante in a couple of weeks and I'm not worried about the risk of earthquakes, certainly wouldn't cancel a holiday I'd been looking forward to for months.

I've been in Zante during an earthquake, they are usually small and happen fairly often. Locals weren't at all bothered.

The risk is no greater now than last week. Go and enjoy your holiday

Thanks all.

Hope you have a good time MrsMooks. We might pass you at the airport when we leave and you arrive!

I wouldn't go if i'd be worried about it throughout the holiday. It would ruin it. You should be excited for a holiday-not dreading it!

That's good to hear SwiftAnchor thanks.

I am in Crete at the moment and went to Santorini earlier today...different part i know, but everything is fine.

Glad all ok there. Lucky you visiting Santorini, hope you enjoy rest of your trip.

I don't think I'd worry when I got there, hard not to feel chilled in Greece
