More quakes hit Santorini and surrounding islands
Residents of neighbouring Amorgos remain on high alert after Monday's tremors, which followed a moderate 5.0 magnitude earthquake between the islands on Sunday evening.
The area has been rocked by seismic activity for the last two weeks, and experts have not ruled out a major earthquake.
A state of emergency will remain in place on Santorini until at least 3 March.
Sunday's quake was preceded by three smaller ones of more than 4.0 magnitude, while the three on Monday morning were also more than 4.0 on the Richter scale.
Inspections found no damage to buildings in Santorini or Amorgos.
No injuries have been reported as a result of the earthquakes, which have numbered in the thousands since 26 January, but more than 11,000 people have left the islands.
Schools will remain closed on Santorini, Amorgos and several other islands on Monday and Tuesday.
A team of the Special Disaster Response Unit has set off for Amorgos from Patras with a special earthquake rescue vehicle, and technical teams are expected to inspect the electricity network on the island.
Kostas Papazachos, a professor of seismology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, told broadcaster ERT that the authorities had to allow for the situation to continue for most or all of February.
"Let's hope that we will slowly move towards a gradual de-escalation," he said.
"We will have to be a little patient and see. Let's hope that after a couple of weeks the phenomenon will start to subside."
He said the possibility of a major earthquake had not been completely ruled out.
The strongest quake so far was a 5.2 magnitude on Thursday. 6.0 and above is considered severe.
Greece is one of Europe's most earthquake-prone countries, but scientists are puzzled by the current "clusters" of quakes which have not been linked to a major shock.
Meanwhile the cruise ship Viking Star, with 893 passengers and 470 crew, docked at the port of Souda in Crete early on Monday morning.
It was due to be the first cruise ship of the season in Santorini. The ship changed its route mainly to avoid cable car overcrowding in Santorini during the seismic activity.

Greece Partially Closes Acropolis Daily to Protect Visitors Amid Scorching Heatwave
Greece's Ministry of Culture has announced a temporary daily closure of the Acropolis, the country's most iconic archaeological site, due to dangerously high temperatures sweeping the region. Starting Tuesday, the monument will be closed to the public from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time (10:00 to 14:00 GMT). The decision aims to protect both workers and visitors from extreme heat conditions, as temperatures in parts of the country soar to 42°C (107.6°F). The heatwave, which began on Sunday, marks the second intense heat event Greece has faced since late June. In Athens, where the Acropolis is located, temperatures are expected to reach 38°C. Built more than 2,500 years ago on an exposed rocky hill with little natural shade, the Acropolis attracts tens of thousands of tourists daily. Last year alone, it welcomed 4.5 million visitors, a 15% increase from 2023. Greek authorities urge visitors to stay hydrated, avoid peak sun hours, and monitor official announcements for any further adjustments to site access.

Earthquakes damage centuries-old monasteries in Greece
by Naharnet Newsdesk 13 June 2025, 15:30 Centuries-old monasteries have been damaged by an ongoing series of earthquakes in a secluded monastic community in northern Greece, authorities said Friday. A magnitude 5.3 earthquake struck the Mount Athos peninsula on June 7, followed by a series of both undersea and land-based tremors that continued through Friday. The quakes caused "severe cracks" in the dome of the Monastery of Xenophon, which was built in the late 10th century, and damaged religious frescoes at that site and several others, the Culture Ministry said. Mount Athos is one of the most important religious sites for Orthodox Christians, and is often referred to as the Holy Mountain. It is a semi-autonomous monastic republic and is home to 20 Orthodox monasteries. The self-governing community still observes strict traditions under Greek sovereignty, including a ban on all women entering the territory. "We are fully aware of the immense archaeological, historical, and spiritual significance of Mount Athos, and we are ensuring that all damage is addressed according to scientific and ethical standards," Culture Minister Lina Mendoni said. The restoration work — including structural reinforcement and the repair of artwork — will be expanded and accelerated, Mendoni added. A more detailed assessment of the damage is expected next week, the Culture Ministry said.
