Two men from Sweden and Turkey have died and around 120 are reportedly injured following the 6.7-magnitude earthquake in the Aegean Sea.

Tourists had to flee their hotel rooms when the tremor, struck at around 1.30am, and was followed by aftershocks throughout the night.

Speaking to STV, a Glasgow couple said: “We just dozing off this morning about 1am then the next minute the whole room and hotel starts shaking side to side.

“When it stopped, after what felt like a lifetime but was only actually a few minutes, we started running downstairs and everybody else was doing the same, some with no clothes on.”

“When we got downstairs we just kept getting mini quakes all through the night until about 9am but people are still thinking they can feel them just now.

“We were asked to stay outside the hotel all night so nobody has had any sleep but the hotel was good with us by giving us drinks, covers and stuff like that.”
