A strong earthquake has been recorded between the Greek islands of Amorgos and Santorini, after days of consecutive tremors in the area. More than 11,000 people have already left Santorini with around 7,000 departing by ferry and 4,000 people leaving by air.

Santorini's earthquakes are intensifying as a rare earthquake swarm continues to rattle the Mediterranean's Aegean Sea. The earthquakes are probably caused by faults rather than volcanic activity.
