Tremors continue in Santorini with two thirds of residents evacuating island

As tremors continue to shake the world-famous Greek island of Santorini, two-thirds of the residents on the island have reportedly left.

According to Greek public broadcaster ERT, on Wednesday, citing officials, more than 11-thousand of the island's 16-thousand residents evacuated to the mainland.

Of them, 7-thousand took ferries, while 4-thousand left on passenger planes.

There have been hundreds of earthquakes in the region around Santorini for the past 13 days.

While there have been no injuries or major damage, concerns are growing that the series of small tremors may be a precursor to a major earthquake.
