People likely experienced very 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, 178 km (111 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(*)RegionCountry6 km (4 mi)NW of epicenterElafonisos(pop: 745)IV: LightNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece13 km (8 mi)N of epicenterAgios Fokas(pop: 19)IV: LightNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece18 km (11 mi)S of epicenterAGIA PELAGIA(pop: 419)IV: LightNomos Piraios, AtticaGreece23 km (14 mi)N of epicenterGefyra(pop: 1,300)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece28 km (18 mi)S of epicenterAvlemonas(pop: 81)III: WeakNomos Piraios, AtticaGreece32 km (20 mi)NW of epicenterAsopos(pop: 4,160)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece36 km (23 mi)N of epicenterGérakas(pop: 120)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece37 km (23 mi)S of epicenterKythira(pop: 281)III: WeakNomos Piraios, AtticaGreece38 km (24 mi)N of epicenterMetamorfosi(pop: 504)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece45 km (28 mi)NW of epicenterKato Glykovrysi(pop: 1,750)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece50 km (31 mi)W of epicenterPorto Kagio(pop: 19)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece51 km (32 mi)W of epicenterKokkala(pop: 238)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece51 km (32 mi)W of epicenterKotronas(pop: 292)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece52 km (33 mi)NW of epicenterGytheion(pop: 4,280)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece53 km (33 mi)NW of epicenterSkala(pop: 2,820)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece61 km (38 mi)W of epicenterKipoula(pop: 17)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece62 km (39 mi)W of epicenterAreopoli(pop: 888)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece63 km (39 mi)NW of epicenterKrokees(pop: 1,330)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece64 km (40 mi)NW of epicenterGeraki(pop: 1,320)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece66 km (41 mi)N of epicenterPigadi(pop: 291)III: WeakNomos Arkadias, PeloponneseGreece70 km (43 mi)NW of epicenterKastania(pop: 55)II: Very weakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece70 km (44 mi)S of epicenterPotamos Antikythiron(pop: 34)II: Very weakNomos Piraios, AtticaGreece75 km (46 mi)NW of epicenterXirokambion(pop: 995)II: Very weakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece78 km (49 mi)N of epicenterLeonidio(pop: 3,020)II: Very weakNomos Arkadias, PeloponneseGreece81 km (50 mi)NW of epicenterStoupa(pop: 600)II: Very weakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece86 km (53 mi)NW of epicenterSparti(pop: 16,200)II: Very weakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece88 km (54 mi)NW of epicenterChora Gaitson(pop: 42)II: Very weakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece98 km (61 mi)NW of epicenterParalia Vergas(pop: 1,970)II: Very weakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece178 km (111 mi)N 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 quake (1)So far, we have received 1 report for this quake. This section is being updated as new data comes in.User reports estimate the perceived ground shaking intensity according to the MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensity) scale.Translate220.4 km ENE of epicenter [Map] / Light shaking (MMI IV) (reported through our app)What is Intensity and the Mercalli Intensity Scale?The amount of shaking that occurs on the surface due to an earthquake is called the intensity. It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!I didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report! Other users would love to hear about it!If you did NOT feel the quake although you were in the area, please report it as well! Your contribution is valuable to earthquake science and seismic hazard analysis.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. It takes normally up to a few hours until earthquake parameters are calculated with near-optimum precision.MagDepthTime GMT2025-11-10EpicenterAgency4.0910 km6.2 mi(*)15:23:41.4SOUTHERN GREECEEMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre)Notes:(*) A depth given as 10 km often means that the the depth of the quake could be not determined with sufficient accuracy.Aftershocks for this quakeNo aftershocks have been recorded so far. 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 1 km2 (0 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)Nov 10, 2025 05:23 pm (Athens)12 minutes ago4.110 km0 km - This quakeIonian Sea, 6.8 km E of Elafonisos Island, Nomos Lakonias, Peloponnese, 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 568 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 62.5 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.06 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 17.9 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.33 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 3.1 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 6.2 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 64 quakes per year (or 5.3 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 390 quakes per year (or 32.5 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 567 quakes per year (or 47 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 16 weeks after a magnitude 5.1 earthquake had hit on Wednesday, Jul 23, 2025, at 04:26 pm local time (Europe/Athens GMT +3) in 86 km (53 mi) distance to the southeast:Mag. 5.1 earthquake Eastern Mediterranean - 19 km east of Nisi Antikythira Island, Greece - Jul 23, 2025 - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 5.9.
