Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has appealed for calm after a wave of seismic tremors hit the tourist island of Santorini, prompting mass departures.
Speaking from Brussels, Mr Mitsotakis acknowledged authorities were monitoring a "very intense" geological phenomenon over recent days, adding: "I want to ask our islanders above all to remain calm."
Known for its spectacular cliffside views and a dormant volcano, Santorini and neighbouring Aegean Sea islands have been hit by hundreds of tremors since last week, the largest with a magnitude of 4.9.
