They have shut schools on Monday and advised people on the island to avoid two small ports and refrain from gathering in indoor spaces.
A series of submarine tremors up to a 4.3 magnitude were registered on Friday and Saturday in the area between the volcanic island of Santorini and Amorgos.
On Sunday morning, earthquakes measuring between 2.8 and 4.5 hit the area but no damage has been reported.
The last eruption in the area occurred in 1950.
One of the largest volcanic eruptions in history, in around 1600BC, formed the island in its current shape.
Santorini sits in the middle of the Aegean Sea Plate and close to an active volcanic arc that runs between Greece and Turkey across the Aegean.

PLANS for one of Croatia’s biggest theme parks have been revealed – despite it’s huge ambitions.
Called Legendland, the Croatian amusement park will have six different zones and a water park.
It hopes to open by 2027 outside of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.
They have big plans from creating six different worlds within the resort with some of the biggest rides being an Intamin LSM rollercoaster, a hyper coaster and an Aquatrax.
But, creators are still waiting for funding and the go-ahead.
Their website states Legendland will be the first “Slavic theme park in Southern Europe” and one of “Europe’s leading theme parks, where visitors can enjoy the sun, beach and the exquisite Mediterranean cuisine.”
While they haven’t secured land to build the amusement park, Legendland founders have made AI images and have even created a map of attractions which include 40 rides.
The six zones around the park will be based on Croatian history and mythology through time.
Neanderthalica is inspired by Neanderthals and have rides set in caves, mines and water rapids.
There’s also Antiquitica, The First Kingdom and Luka Renaissance.
In the Gothica zone, which is inspired by the 17th and 18th centuries, there are gargoyles, witches and vampires.
Gothica attractions include a house of horrors exhibit, and a ride with two swings that reach 62ft.
There’s also the ‘Tesla Institute for Time Travel and Monsters’ which features a huge drop tower and a rollercoaster with a top speed of 86mph.
They also want to open a huge water park with a lazy river with a variety of slides from tornado to racing and a Skybox slide where you fall into the water tunnel from a see-through tube.
As for food and drink, there’s a plan to have six themed restaurants on site from classic pub food to romantic dining, and one place where you can cook your own steak.
The organisers are currently asking for people to subscribe as a sign of support in the hope that public interest will secure land and they can get building.
Until then, the park is no closer to getting the sign off to be built.

Their original site was in Zaprešić, a town 18 miles from Zagreb, but Legendland creators have been unable to secure it so far.
There are lots of theme parks in Croatia, but most of them sit on the coastline where tourism is higher, rather than inland.

MUMS online have been left gobsmacked by a toddler’s skirt from H&M, which they’ve dubbed “revealing” and “so inappropriate.”
The retail giant is selling what unhappy parents are calling a “mini-skirt” for children from the age of 18 months.
Unimpressed mums slammed the store for both the leather-look of the skirt and the lack of practicality – pointing out how a child might struggle to run and play while wearing it.
Some have even likened the skirt to the wardrobe of racy rock-chic Nessa from Gavin and Stacey – whose wardrobe, which frequently features leather-look clothing, is entirely inappropriate for a child.
Labelled on the H&M website as a Coated Skirt, the item is described as “short” in length with an outer shell made from 100% polyester.
Online, the skirt has a 4.7 star review, with happy customers calling it the “perfect fit.”
But TikTok user @hannah_time_ spotted the skirt in-store, and posted a clip to the video-sharing platform, which she captioned: “H&M I love your toddler clothes… but a leather mini skirt on a baby is weird…”
In the video, she picks the skirt up and rotates it – showing off the length and style of the material.
Hannah, a mum to a teen and toddler, said the skirt confused her “on so many levels” and was concerned a child might feel uncomfortable and restricted in it.
One curious viewer asked: “Genuine question, what’s the issue compared to any other material? It’s not like it’s PVC leather or something.”
Hannah replied: “I’d feel similarly about a baby boy in a tux – I just, personally, don’t like dressing children like adults. Toddlers should be wearing comfortable clothes, this is not it.”
Other viewers were also shocked by the skirt, concerned that the item was age-inappropriate.
“It’s just getting worse, can’t even buy girls normal tops these days. Everything is crop tops. Drives me insane.”
“Nooooooo, hate it when people dress kids like adults.”
“Think it’s making children grow up way before their time! These are adults clothes.”
“I wouldn’t even buy that for myself, let alone my 3 year old.”
“You can’t climb trees or run around in that skirt tho. It’s not made for kids.”
A mum's perspective on little girl's clothes
Mum-of-two and Senior Digital Writer at Fabulous, Sarah Bull, has shared her thoughts on buying clothes for young girls.
She shared: “I’m lucky enough to have both a son and a daughter.
“And when it comes to choosing outfits for my kids, I have always erred on the more demure side of things.
“Even with swimwear, I don’t like the idea of little girl wearing a bikini, and will always opt for a one-piece for her when we go swimming.
“My daughter, who’s six, is still in the stage of loving “girly” clothes like tutus and anything that glitters.
“But if she went to a shop and picked up a mini denim skirt or a pair of leather shorts that she wanted me to buy, I know for a fact that I’d put my foot down.
“She’s got years ahead of her to wear what she wants but, as her mother, I’ll be as firm as I possibly can over her wardrobe choices.
“So no, put the leather shorts back, and swap the miniskirts for a fluffy tutu instead.”
But not everybody agreed.
“Unless you’re gonna style it with fishnets and a rhinestone bralette I don’t see the problem.”
“You’re the weirdo making it a thing. It’s a cute skirt, nothing more.”
Fabulous reached out to H&M, who were unable to comment.

A GRIEVING mum believes her son was murdered in Spain and the country’s cops are trying to cover it up.
Sandra Adams, 56, says her son Brett Dryden died from foul play and is now investigating herself after being left in anguish.
Brett Dryden died in Spain on July 22[/caption]
Brett lived in Mojacar, Spain[/caption]
Brett, 35, had lived in the small town of Mojacar, in Andalusia, for five years while running a legal cannabis club called The Dawg House.
But the father-of-one was found dead in his resort home on the Costa Almeria on July 22, the Mirror reports.
His body had a four-inch gash to the head – but a post-mortem in Spain pinned his passing on a blood clot in his lungs, known as a pulmonary embolism.
But Sandra does not buy this and believes cops are trying to cover up the death to protect the tourism industry.
Instead, she believes her 5ft 5 son was “quickly” killed by someone he knew.
Sandra told the Mirror: “I just want justice for my son. I will not rest until I get justice.”
“My husband got a call from his friend saying Brett had been found in his house dead and there was blood all up the walls.
“When Brett’s friends found him and went in the house the police officers initially said to them ‘there’s been a violent murder’ and that he had been hit with an axe.”
A number of bizarre things happened following Brett’s death that clearly point to the involvement of other people, Sandra believes.
Neighbours told Robert they had CCTV footage of three men running away from Brett’s home on the night he died.
The Durham woman said she received a call from Brett’s phone hours after medics say Brett died.
After tracking the handset, the heartbroken mother found it was being turned on and off and moving to different locations in Spain.
Sandra said she told Spanish cops about what she had found and shared her suspicion that Brett’s death was “murder”.
But, Sandra said cops told her and husband Rob to “‘take a step back and let us deal with it now’.”
Spanish cops took CCTV footage from the home just before Christmas – but there is no confirmation cops have an open homicide investigation.
The fighting mum brought Brett’s body home to Britain to conduct a full autopsy, which was inconclusive.
Sandra is now fuming that Spanish cops have not kept her informed of the investigation – despite ringing them every day.
Husband Rob, Brett’s step-dad, has also been to Spain to try and speak to the Guardia.
Spanish police declined to comment on the case to the Mirror.
A court spokesman said: “The investigation hasn’t been suspended or closed. It is still open and this incident remains under investigation. The court is waiting for the Civil Guard to complete their full report and present their conclusions. For the time being there’s nothing more we can say.”

LAURYN Goodman is preparing to tell her kids ‘the truth’ about Kyle Walker – as she blasts him for ‘not being a present dad’.
The TV star has two children with England footballer Kyle, 34, and has spoken out this weekend following his move to AC Milan.

Lauryn has two children with Kyle, Kairo and Kinara[/caption]
Lauryn became pregnant with son Kairo while Kyle was on a break from childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner in 2019.
Kyle later got back together with Annie before they married in 2021, and the couple share four sons.
But he and Lauryn stayed in touch and briefly rekindled their relationship.
Their daughter Kinara was conceived in October 2022 while the footballer was in London for treatment for a groin injury.
As Kyle’s marriage to Annie hangs by the thinnest of threads after his move to Italy, Lauryn has taken aim at her ex and how he doesn’t have a relationship with their two children.
The 34-year-old told The Mirror: “I don’t want them to feel like they’re missing out because they haven’t got a present dad to be doing these things with them.
“I’ve been through hell and back fighting for my children and then absolutely being crucified for it in the process.”
And in a thinly veiled swipe, she added: “Everything I do is for my kids.
“They are innocent and I am here, day in, day out, caring for them, making sure that they are looked after, making sure they’re loved, making sure that they’re not affected.”
But she’s insisted in her recent interview: “I’m not a money grabber.”
Lauryn added: “It’s about all the children having the same, which they will never have, but I can try to get similarities for them. If his other children are living like that, why can’t Kairo and Kinara?”
Meanwhile, Kyle was pictured reuniting with Annie and their children after they jetted into Italy to watch him make his debut for Italian giants AC Milan this weekend.
Annie, 31, jetted in with Roman, 12, Riaan, nine, seven-year-old Reign and baby Rezon – on Friday afternoon after a turbulent week.
Kyle also has four sons with wife Annie Kilner[/caption]
