ATHENS: Seismic activity on the Aegean Sea hotspot of Santorini has been “decreasing” over recent days but schools will remain closed for another week, according to authorities on the Greek island.

Thousands of earthquakes, mainly of a low magnitude, have been recorded between Santorini and Amorgos, islands in the Cyclades group southeast of the Greek mainland. They have yet to cause either casualties or significant damage but have worried authorities and residents.
