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.
