People likely experienced weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Greece, Athens, 408 km (254 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake could not be felt.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry20 km (12 mi)N of epicenterKalo Nero(pop: 78)III: WeakLasithi, CreteGreece29 km (18 mi)NW of epicenterFerma(pop: 532)III: WeakLasithi, CreteGreece37 km (23 mi)NW of epicenterIerapetra(pop: 12,400)III: WeakLasithi, CreteGreece38 km (23 mi)NW of epicenterKavousi(pop: 559)III: WeakLasithi, CreteGreece40 km (25 mi)N of epicenterSitia(pop: 8,710)III: WeakLasithi, CreteGreece41 km (26 mi)N of epicenterPalekastro(pop: 1,090)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece47 km (29 mi)NW of epicenterKalamafka(pop: 425)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece50 km (31 mi)W of epicenterMyrtos(pop: 441)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece52 km (32 mi)NW of epicenterAgios Nikolaos(pop: 11,400)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece57 km (36 mi)NW of epicenterSelakano(pop: 29)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece61 km (38 mi)W of epicenterArvi(pop: 671)II: Very weakHeraklion Regional Unit, CreteGreece62 km (38 mi)NW of epicenterVrouchas(pop: 135)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece64 km (40 mi)NW of epicenterNeapoli(pop: 2,680)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece70 km (44 mi)NW of epicenterEmparos(pop: 247)II: Very weakHeraklion Regional Unit, CreteGreece75 km (47 mi)NW of epicenterMalia(pop: 4,340)II: Very weakHeraklion Regional Unit, CreteGreece80 km (50 mi)NW of epicenterKastelli(pop: 1,830)II: Very weakHeraklion Regional Unit, CreteGreece408 km (254 mi)NW of epicenterAthens(pop: 664,000)I: Not feltNomarchia 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.

It has had at least 7 quakes above magnitude 6 since 2000, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 1 to 5 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
