Since Sunday, hundreds of near-constant tremors have been recorded in the sea between Santorini and the island of Amorgos.
The strongest tremor - with a magnitude of 5.2 - happened last night.
Experts said the region has not experienced seismic activity on this scale since records began in 1964.
Greece is one of Europe's most earthquake-prone countries, but seismologists have said the tremors are unprecedented and could last for weeks or months.
The institute said that over 6,000 tremors have been recorded near the islands of Santorini, Amorgos, Anafi and Ios since 26 January.
