More Greek islands closed schools Tuesday as hundreds of earthquakes ratted the Aegean Sea, while a handful of hardy tourists enjoyed having Santorini’s stunning views to themselves

Thousands of people are fleeing the Greek island of Santorini as increased seismic activity spurs fears of a more powerful earthquake at the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis appealed for calm as 200 earthquakes have left the residents of Santorini island, and its neighbours in the Aegean Sea, rattled, Al Jazeera reported on Tuesday.
