People likely experienced light 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, 288 km (179 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(*)RegionCountry55 km (34 mi)NE of epicenterKalives(pop: 15)IV: LightNomos Piraios, AtticaGreece59 km (37 mi)E of epicenterMoni Chrysoskalitissas(pop: 66)IV: LightChania, CreteGreece59 km (37 mi)E of epicenterSfinari(pop: 125)IV: LightChania, CreteGreece67 km (42 mi)E of epicenterKissamos(pop: 4,240)IV: LightChania, CreteGreece69 km (43 mi)E of epicenterStrovles(pop: 44)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece75 km (46 mi)E of epicenterPalaiochora(pop: 2,370)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece76 km (47 mi)N of epicenterKythira(pop: 281)III: WeakNomos Piraios, AtticaGreece79 km (49 mi)E of epicenterKolympari(pop: 1,030)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece85 km (53 mi)N of epicenterAvlemonas(pop: 81)III: WeakNomos Piraios, AtticaGreece91 km (57 mi)E of epicenterKaranos(pop: 81)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece92 km (57 mi)N of epicenterPotamos(pop: 476)III: WeakNomos Piraios, AtticaGreece98 km (61 mi)E of epicenterAgia Rouméli(pop: 125)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece101 km (63 mi)E of epicenterChania(pop: 53,900)III: WeakCreteGreece107 km (67 mi)E of epicenterKares Apokorronou(pop: 37)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece110 km (68 mi)E of epicenterAnopolis(pop: 242)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece113 km (70 mi)E of epicenterMouzouras(pop: 1,460)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece113 km (70 mi)N of epicenterPorto Kagio(pop: 19)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece114 km (71 mi)E of epicenterKalyves(pop: 1,430)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece115 km (72 mi)N of epicenterElafonisos(pop: 745)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece116 km (72 mi)E of epicenterAmmoudari(pop: 164)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece122 km (76 mi)E of epicenterGeorgioupolis(pop: 2,480)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece124 km (77 mi)N of epicenterKokkala(pop: 238)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece126 km (78 mi)NW of epicenterKipoula(pop: 17)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece126 km (78 mi)N of epicenterAgios Fokas(pop: 19)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece130 km (81 mi)SE of epicenterFokia(pop: 53)III: WeakChania, CreteGreece130 km (81 mi)E of epicenterArgyroupoli(pop: 403)III: WeakRethymno, CreteGreece133 km (83 mi)N of epicenterKotronas(pop: 292)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece135 km (84 mi)N of epicenterGefyra(pop: 1,300)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece140 km (87 mi)E of epicenterMariou(pop: 303)III: WeakRethymno, CreteGreece140 km (87 mi)N of epicenterAsopos(pop: 4,160)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece141 km (88 mi)N of epicenterAreopoli(pop: 888)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece142 km (89 mi)E of epicenterRethymno(pop: 32,500)III: WeakCreteGreece146 km (91 mi)N of epicenterGytheion(pop: 4,280)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece148 km (92 mi)N of epicenterMetamorfosi(pop: 504)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece149 km (92 mi)N of epicenterGérakas(pop: 120)III: WeakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece149 km (93 mi)E of epicenterSpilion(pop: 710)III: WeakRethymno, CreteGreece170 km (106 mi)NW of epicenterKoroni(pop: 1,620)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece185 km (115 mi)NW of epicenterMethoni(pop: 1,170)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece196 km (122 mi)NE of epicenterAdamantas(pop: 1,350)III: WeakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece288 km (179 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 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 10 km2 (4 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 5 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Nov 11, 2025 01:58 am (Universal Time)4 minutes ago5.019 km0 km - This quakeEastern Mediterranean, 56 km SW of Nisi Antikythira Island, 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 566 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.06 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 17.9 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.56 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.8 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 10.9 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 95 quakes per year (or 7.9 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 505 quakes per year (or 42 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 566 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 7 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 15 to 20 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
