The quake had a very shallow depth of 18.5 km (11 mi) and was felt by many near the epicenter. The shallow depth of the quake caused it to be felt more strongly near the epicenter than a deeper quake of similar magnitude would.Quake Data | Interactive map | Seismograms | User reports | Aftershocks | Earlier quakes here | Quakes in Greece | Crete | South Aegean | AtticaHint: Click on the image to see different maps of this quake!Moderate magnitude 4.3 earthquake at 18 km depth18 Jul 09:06 UTC: First to report: UOA after 2 minutes.18 Jul 09:07: Now using data updates from AUTH...

It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)I: Not felt626–298 km (15.9–185 mi)148 km (92 mi)II: Very weak shaking1294–294 km (183–183 mi)294 km (183 mi)III: Weak shaking524–94 km (15–58 mi)42 km (26 mi)IV: Light shaking136–36 km (23–23 mi)36 km (23 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (14 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.Get the Android appI didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report!

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 2 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 18, 2026 12:04 pm (GMT +3)33 minutes ago - felt4.318 km0 km - This quakeAegean Sea, 27 km N of Irakleion, Heraklion Regional Unit, Crete, GreeceMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 56 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 1,900 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.07 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 14.1 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.53 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.9 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 13.5 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 159 quakes per year (or 13.3 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 1,100 quakes per year (or 3 quakes per day)Mag. 1 or higher: 1,900 quakes per year (or 5.1 quakes per day)The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity.
