Santorini: YouTuber Visits Red Beach Amid Earthquakes – "I Came to Check," He Tells Firefighters

Christos Giannelis, a well-known YouTuber with over 290,000 subscribers, set out to capture the situation in Santorini.

Among other locations, he visited Red Beach, which has been closed due to landslides triggered by ongoing seismic activity. When he encountered firefighters stationed in the area, he told them: "I came to check how serious the situation is; I’m a YouTuber."

Watch the relevant clip from 4:40 to 8:30 in the video.

"Don’t even think about coming here – I’m not afraid of what I’m doing."

Initially, Christos Giannelis states that he visited Red Beach "to see if the reported landslides are real." However, he later acknowledges the risks involved.

"Don’t even think about coming here. This is quite daring—I’m not afraid of what I’m doing, but when you see these rocks during an earthquake, you should start… peeing yourself," he remarks.

"Massive landslides—let’s hope the beach (and I) are still here after this video."

As he continues, the YouTuber observes, "There have been massive landslides. Let’s hope the beach is still here… and that I am too after this video."

"Nature’s beauty is such that visitors may not consider the dangers," he adds.

"Firefighters are monitoring the area – if idiots like me make these videos, it's not their fault."

Later, he mentions spotting the firefighters from a distance and telling them he was a YouTuber checking out the severity of the situation.

"They were ready to yell at me. The firefighters are watching over the area, and if idiots like me make these kinds of videos, it’s not their fault," he admits.
