Thousands of residents have fled the island of Santorini after a swarm of earthquakes shook the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea on Tuesday morning.

Santorini, often called Greece’s "Instagram Island," is famous for its whitewashed buildings and breathtaking caldera, a volcanic crater created by one of the largest known eruptions around 3,600 years ago.
