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.

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.

This may lead to an eruption.

Grindavik is being evacuated as a precaution
