My mum lives on the north coast of Crete 13km from Chania. The Greek authorities seem quite concerned with developments. She has also received an email from the UK government asking to avoid these areas.

There is still a lot of activity currently (although possibly not quite as much as earlier today).

Latest earthquake up to 5.2, thus roughly twice as strong as the previous 4.9. (difference of 0.3 = ln(2))

I am not sure of the implications but I have noticed a couple of periods of continuous tremor in the last few days on the Santorini seismographs. Usually this is associated with fluid (magma) movement. It may well come to nothing but adds to my suspicions that not all the activity in the area is purely tectonic.

Another area to keep an eye on is Campi Flegrei (by Naples in Italy) as there has been a steady increase in activity there over the last few years and most notably in the last year, as discussed here:

It goes without saying that any eruption there would be problematic. There was a magnitude 3.9 quake there this afternoon (depth 3km) and there have been a number of quakes in the vicinity in recent weeks.
