A strong earthquake has been recorded between the Greek islands of Amorgos and Santorini, after days of consecutive tremors in the area, the BBC reports.
More than 11,000 people have already left Santorini with around 7,000 departing by ferry and 4,000 people leaving by air.
The quake followed two smaller tremors minutes earlier, and was recorded at 21:09 local time (19:09 GMT) as a magnitude 5.2 tremor, making it the strongest in recent days. It is estimated to have occurred at a depth of 5km.
So far major damage has not been reported on the island but authorities have been taking precautionary measures.
