Emergency services were deployed in readiness and schools were closed after more than 200 temblors struck in the Aegean, near Santorini, within 48 hours.

The Greek island of Santorini is being rattled by dozens of tremors, prompting authorities to close schools and airlines to announce additional flights on Monday to help people leave the popular tourist destination.

According to Digi24, officials fear that a larger earthquake and a possible tsunami could follow. The Civil Protection Ministry has taken precautions, including ordering school closures on Monday and advising residents to avoid shorelines and unstable structures.
