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, 228 km (142 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(*)RegionCountry14 km (9 mi)N of epicenterKalotaritissa(pop: 20)III: WeakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece24 km (15 mi)NE of epicenterAmorgos(pop: 397)III: WeakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece28 km (18 mi)NW of epicenterPanayia(pop: 211)III: WeakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece36 km (23 mi)NE of epicenterAigiali(pop: 261)III: WeakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece38 km (24 mi)SW of epicenterOia(pop: 3,380)III: WeakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece39 km (24 mi)W of epicenterIos(pop: 2,020)III: WeakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece42 km (26 mi)NW of epicenterAgiassos(pop: 83)III: WeakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece42 km (26 mi)SW of epicenterEmporeio(pop: 1,950)III: WeakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece47 km (29 mi)NW of epicenterFilotion(pop: 1,480)II: Very weakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece48 km (30 mi)N of epicenterDonoussa(pop: 141)II: Very weakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece55 km (34 mi)N of epicenterKoronis(pop: 279)II: Very weakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece57 km (35 mi)NW of epicenterNaxos(pop: 7,070)II: Very weakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece58 km (36 mi)E of epicenterAstypalaia(pop: 1,130)II: Very weakDodecanese, South AegeanGreece68 km (42 mi)NW of epicenterParos(pop: 5,290)II: Very weakNomos Kykladon, South AegeanGreece228 km (142 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!Get the Android appCompare 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 4 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 30 to 35 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
