In response to Santorini’s strongest tremor yet—a 5.3-magnitude earthquake—Greek seismologists agree that it is too early to say seismic activity is subsiding.

Lekkas added that construction in the caldera continues to expand downward, despite a law intended to ban construction on public land, which was supposed to pass through Parliament but never did.

"Only earthquake-resistant construction can save us," Karydis stated.

Greece's PM will hold an emergency meeting about the quakes near Santorini, as experts warn a stronger tremor can't be ruled out.

The President of the Earthquake Planning and Protection Organization (OASP) and Professor of Natural Disaster Management, Efthymios Lekkas, was reassuring stating that there was no serious cause for concern.

If the signal manages to arrive first and we perceive it, then we can take basic protection measures
