Schools on four Greek islands will remain closed through next week as earthquakes continue to rattle the region, authorities said.

More than 800 tremors of magnitude three and over have been recorded on the tourist islands of Santorini, Amorgos, Anafi and Ios since February 1, triggering an exodus of most of Santorini’s 16,000 residents as well as visitors.
