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, 260 km (162 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(*)RegionCountry15 km (9 mi)E of epicenterGuelpinar(pop: 1,230)III: WeakCanakkaleTurkey21 km (13 mi)E of epicenterKoesedere(pop: 705)III: WeakCanakkaleTurkey29 km (18 mi)SE of epicenterMithymna(pop: 1,560)III: WeakLesbos, North AegeanGreece32 km (20 mi)N of epicenterBozcaada(pop: 2,640)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey32 km (20 mi)S of epicenterLygeri(pop: 43)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece34 km (21 mi)E of epicenterAssos(pop: 1,100)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey35 km (22 mi)NE of epicenterGeyikli(pop: 3,030)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey37 km (23 mi)SE of epicenterFilia(pop: 653)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece39 km (24 mi)E of epicenterAyvacik(pop: 6,880)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey40 km (25 mi)SE of epicenterKapi(pop: 544)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece42 km (26 mi)NE of epicenterEzine(pop: 15,700)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey43 km (27 mi)S of epicenterEresos(pop: 1,040)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece44 km (28 mi)SE of epicenterAyía Paraskeví(pop: 2,200)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece46 km (28 mi)S of epicenterAgra(pop: 955)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece49 km (31 mi)NE of epicenterKalafat(pop: 1,060)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey51 km (32 mi)E of epicenterDağahmetçe(pop: 89)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey56 km (35 mi)SE of epicenterNees Kydonies(pop: 485)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece57 km (35 mi)S of epicenterPolichnitos(pop: 2,670)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece63 km (39 mi)NE of epicenterGuezelyali(pop: 1,640)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey64 km (40 mi)SE of epicenterAgiasos(pop: 2,320)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece66 km (41 mi)NE of epicenterYigitler(pop: 99)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey67 km (42 mi)N of epicenterDereköy(pop: 39)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey68 km (42 mi)E of epicenterAltinoluk(pop: 13,800)II: Very weakBalikesirTurkey69 km (43 mi)E of epicenterAyvalik(pop: 70,000)II: Very weakAyvalik Ilcesi, BalikesirTurkey72 km (45 mi)SE of epicenterMytilene(pop: 28,300)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece74 km (46 mi)SE of epicenterPlomari(pop: 3,000)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece75 km (47 mi)NW of epicenterAtsiki(pop: 886)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece77 km (48 mi)NE of epicenterCanakkale(pop: 143,600)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey78 km (49 mi)SE of epicenterPyrgoi(pop: 91)II: Very weakLesbos, North AegeanGreece84 km (52 mi)NE of epicenterKirazli(pop: 122)II: Very weakCanakkaleTurkey260 km (162 mi)SW 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 2 quakes above magnitude 6 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 earthquake
