People likely experienced very 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, 389 km (242 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(*)RegionCountry7 km (4 mi)W of epicenterPerivolakia(pop: 21)III: WeakLasithi, CreteGreece16 km (10 mi)N of epicenterSitia(pop: 8,710)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece17 km (11 mi)W of epicenterKoutsouras(pop: 775)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece18 km (11 mi)NE of epicenterPalekastro(pop: 1,090)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece26 km (16 mi)W of epicenterKavousi(pop: 559)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece36 km (23 mi)W of epicenterIerapetra(pop: 12,400)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece41 km (25 mi)W of epicenterAgios Nikolaos(pop: 11,400)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece43 km (27 mi)W of epicenterKalamafka(pop: 425)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece46 km (28 mi)NW of epicenterVrouchas(pop: 135)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece51 km (31 mi)W of epicenterMyrtos(pop: 441)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece53 km (33 mi)NW of epicenterNeapoli(pop: 2,680)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece54 km (33 mi)W of epicenterSelakano(pop: 29)II: Very weakLasithi, CreteGreece61 km (38 mi)W of epicenterTzermiadon(pop: 682)I: Not feltLasithi, CreteGreece63 km (39 mi)NW of epicenterAgia Varvara(pop: 102)I: Not feltLasithi, CreteGreece95 km (59 mi)W of epicenterIrakleion(pop: 137,200)I: Not feltHeraklion Regional Unit, CreteGreece389 km (242 mi)NW of epicenterAthens(pop: 664,000): 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 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
