People likely experienced weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of  Greece, Athens, 208 km (130 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry5 km (3 mi)NE of epicenterApidia(pop: 496)IV: LightNomos Kardhitsas, ThessalyGreece18 km (11 mi)E of epicenterAnavra(pop: 1,150)IV: LightNomos Kardhitsas, ThessalyGreece20 km (13 mi)N of epicenterKarditsa(pop: 32,800)IV: LightNomos Kardhitsas, ThessalyGreece31 km (19 mi)S of epicenterKarpenisi(pop: 6,890)III: WeakNomos Evrytanias, Central GreeceGreece33 km (21 mi)NW of epicenterMouzaki(pop: 2,130)III: WeakNomos Kardhitsas, ThessalyGreece33 km (21 mi)SE of epicenterMakrakomi(pop: 2,250)III: WeakNomos Fthiotidos, Central GreeceGreece34 km (21 mi)N of epicenterAgnantero(pop: 1,860)III: WeakNomos Kardhitsas, ThessalyGreece34 km (21 mi)E of epicenterNeon Monastirion(pop: 1,160)III: WeakNomos Fthiotidos, Central GreeceGreece36 km (22 mi)NE of epicenterPalamas(pop: 5,720)III: WeakNomos Kardhitsas, ThessalyGreece36 km (23 mi)E of epicenterDomokos(pop: 1,530)III: WeakNomos Fthiotidos, Central GreeceGreece43 km (26 mi)N of epicenterTrikala(pop: 61,700)III: WeakThessalyGreece45 km (28 mi)E of epicenterFarsala(pop: 10,400)III: WeakNomos Larisis, ThessalyGreece47 km (29 mi)SE of epicenterLianokladhion(pop: 1,090)III: WeakNomos Fthiotidos, Central GreeceGreece48 km (30 mi)N of epicenterOichalia(pop: 3,270)III: WeakTrikala, ThessalyGreece52 km (32 mi)NE of epicenterZarkos(pop: 1,410)III: WeakTrikala, ThessalyGreece55 km (34 mi)N of epicenterRizoma(pop: 1,410)III: WeakTrikala, ThessalyGreece60 km (37 mi)SE of epicenterRodhitsa(pop: 3,510)III: WeakNomos Fthiotidos, Central GreeceGreece62 km (39 mi)N of epicenterKalampaka(pop: 8,140)III: WeakTrikala, ThessalyGreece64 km (40 mi)SW of epicenterLoutro(pop: 1000)III: WeakAitoloakarnania, West GreeceGreece67 km (42 mi)N of epicenterVerdikoussa(pop: 1,600)III: WeakNomos Larisis, ThessalyGreece68 km (42 mi)NE of epicenterLarisa(pop: 146,900)III: WeakNomos Larisis, ThessalyGreece70 km (43 mi)W of epicenterKompoti(pop: 2,150)III: WeakNomos Artas, EpirusGreece70 km (43 mi)SE of epicenterStilís(pop: 4,890)III: WeakNomos Fthiotidos, Central GreeceGreece70 km (44 mi)S of epicenterThermo(pop: 1,960)III: WeakAitoloakarnania, West GreeceGreece71 km (44 mi)NE of epicenterTyrnavos(pop: 10,800)III: WeakNomos Larisis, ThessalyGreece71 km (44 mi)NE of epicenterChalki(pop: 1,840)III: WeakNomos Larisis, ThessalyGreece72 km (45 mi)SW of epicenterAmfilochia(pop: 4,020)III: WeakAitoloakarnania, West GreeceGreece74 km (46 mi)SW of epicenterLepenou(pop: 2,090)III: WeakAitoloakarnania, West GreeceGreece74 km (46 mi)SE of epicenterGravia(pop: 1,810)III: WeakPhocis, Central GreeceGreece75 km (47 mi)SW of epicenterAgrinio(pop: 46,900)III: WeakAitoloakarnania, West GreeceGreece75 km (47 mi)E of epicenterAlmyros(pop: 7,960)III: WeakNomos Magnisias, ThessalyGreece77 km (48 mi)NW of epicenterPramanta(pop: 1,140)II: Very weakIoannina, EpirusGreece77 km (48 mi)E of epicenterVelestino(pop: 3,040)II: Very weakNomos Magnisias, ThessalyGreece78 km (48 mi)W of epicenterArta(pop: 21,900)II: Very weakNomos Artas, EpirusGreece78 km (48 mi)SE of epicenterMolos(pop: 1,970)II: Very weakNomos Fthiotidos, Central GreeceGreece79 km (49 mi)S of epicenterGavalou(pop: 1,020)II: Very weakAitoloakarnania, West GreeceGreece83 km (52 mi)N of epicenterElassona(pop: 7,060)II: Very weakNomos Larisis, ThessalyGreece84 km (52 mi)SE of epicenterAmfissa(pop: 6,850)II: Very weakPhocis, Central GreeceGreece88 km (54 mi)NE of epicenterSykourio(pop: 2,320)II: Very weakNomos Larisis, ThessalyGreece208 km (130 mi)SE of epicenterAthens(pop: 664,000)II: Very weakNomarchia Athinas, AtticaGreeceNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 2 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Aug 1, 2025 04:01 am (Athens)32 minutes ago4.210 km0 km - This quake20 km S of Karditsa, Nomos Kardhitsas, Thessaly, GreeceMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 55 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 4,200 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.11 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 9.3 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.87 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.2 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 11.7 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 101 quakes per year (or 8.4 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 996 quakes per year (or 83 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 3,700 quakes per year (or 10.1 quakes per day)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 14 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 5 to 10 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 32 weeks after a magnitude 4.7 earthquake had hit on Saturday, Dec 21, 2024, at 07:29 pm local time (Europe/Athens GMT +3) in 71 km (44 mi) distance to the south:Mag. 4.7 earthquake Aitoloakarnania - West Greece, Greece - Dec 21, 2024 - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 6.0.
