Hi everyone! Sorry I got lost, just had a couple of revolutionary days here in Greece!
Thank you for the updates!
About this earthquake in Crete, I don't really know. It could be relevant, since it's not that far from Santorini, but we've had an EQ measuring 6.3 in Crete on April 1st, so it could be a simple aftershock. Maybe someone with better knowledge of the subject could help us answer that.
About the volcano itself, still no official news. Wait and see, I guess...

The following as Santorini
2011-11-14 03:31:12 2.7 17 Km
2011-11-13 09:44:28 2.7 25 Km
2011-11-13 08:47:14 2.5 18 Km
2011-11-13 08:12:14 2.7 16 Km
2011-11-13 17:27:21 3.7 94 Km
EDIS
RSOE EDIS have also added Santorini to their list of Supervolcs!

"November 13, 2011 – GREECE – Seismic activity beneath Santorini volcano continues to be slightly above normal levels. Beginning since July this year, an there is elevated activity in a SW-NE trending zone passing through Nea Kameni and the submarine Kolumbos volcano NE of Santorini. The alignment (also known as the Kameni and Kolumbus lines) is a ca. 2 km wide zone parallel to a tectonic horst and graben structure of the crystalline basement of the area. Most of the known volcanic vents of Santorini during the past 2 million years were located on this alignment, more precisely either on its southern boundary (Kameni line) or on its northern boundary (Kolumbus line). Lacking other data sources, the information visible on the location and number of earthquakes is too weak, other than to vaguely speculate that the current earthquake activity around Santorini could be a precursor to new activity from this volcano. Santorini’s last eruption was in 1950. –Volcano Discovery
The devastating volcanic eruption of Santorini at Thera has become the most famous single event in the Aegean before the fall of Troy. It may have been one of the largest volcanic eruptions on Earth in the last few thousand years, with an estimated 7 on the VEI (volcanic explosivity index). -Wikipedia

my 2 cent on the subject

when we look at the moon or many of the celestial bodies we are lucky enough to have a picture of...we can clearly see that impacts between heavenly bodies is not only quiet common..but its the rule...so we have a moon close to us which just remind us how easily it might get to get hit!....but it tells you another interesting story..

when comparing the number of craters on the moon to those on Earth there is an enormous difference in numbers..

so does this means that Earth was hit a lot less than the Moon?, not at all....thats just a reminder that Earth did get hit many many times in the past..so were are our craters? ...they have all been coated by the huge volcanic activity we have here on Earth, which constantly coat shape the surface of our planet.

so basically OP S+F to you , every volcano is worth watching!
