People likely experienced 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, 305 km (189 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(*)RegionCountry61 km (38 mi)NE of epicenterKeri(pop: 469)III: WeakNomos Zakynthou, Ionian IslandsGreece75 km (46 mi)NE of epicenterKatastarion(pop: 1,380)III: WeakNomos Zakynthou, Ionian IslandsGreece76 km (47 mi)NE of epicenterZakynthos(pop: 11,500)III: WeakNomos Zakynthou, Ionian IslandsGreece76 km (47 mi)N of epicenterVolimes(pop: 406)III: WeakNomos Zakynthou, Ionian IslandsGreece93 km (58 mi)NE of epicenterArkoudi(pop: 1,310)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece102 km (63 mi)NE of epicenterGastouni(pop: 8,110)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece103 km (64 mi)NE of epicenterKyllini(pop: 1,080)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece104 km (65 mi)E of epicenterFiliatra(pop: 6,970)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece104 km (65 mi)NE of epicenterPyrgos(pop: 22,400)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece105 km (65 mi)NE of epicenterAmaliada(pop: 16,800)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece107 km (67 mi)N of epicenterArgostoli(pop: 9,820)III: WeakKefallonia Regional Unit, Ionian IslandsGreece109 km (68 mi)N of epicenterPoros(pop: 1,060)III: WeakKefallonia Regional Unit, Ionian IslandsGreece110 km (68 mi)E of epicenterGargalianoi(pop: 6,280)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece112 km (70 mi)E of epicenterKyparissia(pop: 5,030)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece114 km (71 mi)E of epicenterZacharo(pop: 5,890)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece114 km (71 mi)NE of epicenterMakrisia(pop: 1,900)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece115 km (71 mi)NE of epicenterKaratoula(pop: 1000)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece117 km (73 mi)N of epicenterSami(pop: 1,350)III: WeakKefallonia Regional Unit, Ionian IslandsGreece119 km (74 mi)E of epicenterPylos(pop: 2,350)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece123 km (77 mi)E of epicenterMethoni(pop: 1,170)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece124 km (77 mi)NE of epicenterVarda(pop: 3,310)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece128 km (79 mi)E of epicenterAristomenis(pop: 1,700)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece128 km (80 mi)E of epicenterDorio(pop: 1,840)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece130 km (81 mi)N of epicenterIthaki(pop: 1,840)II: Very weakKefallonia Regional Unit, Ionian IslandsGreece132 km (82 mi)NE of epicenterFoloi(pop: 2,290)II: Very weakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece133 km (83 mi)E of epicenterAlifeira(pop: 1,190)II: Very weakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece138 km (85 mi)E of epicenterPetalidi(pop: 2,560)II: Very weakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece138 km (86 mi)E of epicenterMeligalas(pop: 1,430)II: Very weakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece143 km (89 mi)E of epicenterMessini(pop: 6,770)II: Very weakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece144 km (90 mi)NE of epicenterKato Achaia(pop: 5,750)II: Very weakAchaea, West GreeceGreece145 km (90 mi)NE of epicenterKato Mazaraki(pop: 1,010)II: Very weakAchaea, West GreeceGreece145 km (90 mi)E of epicenterKoroni(pop: 1,620)II: Very weakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece148 km (92 mi)NE of epicenterTropaia(pop: 2,220)II: Very weakNomos Arkadias, PeloponneseGreece153 km (95 mi)NE of epicenterVrachnaiika(pop: 2,570)II: Very weakAchaea, West GreeceGreece157 km (97 mi)NE of epicenterMesolongi(pop: 12,800)II: Very weakAitoloakarnania, West GreeceGreece159 km (99 mi)NE of epicenterAitoliko(pop: 4,320)II: Very weakAitoloakarnania, West GreeceGreece163 km (101 mi)NE of epicenterPátrai(pop: 168,000)II: Very weakAchaea, West GreeceGreece181 km (112 mi)NE of epicenterNafpaktos(pop: 13,400)II: Very weakAitoloakarnania, West GreeceGreece187 km (116 mi)NE of epicenterAigio(pop: 20,400)II: Very weakAchaea, West GreeceGreece305 km (189 mi)E 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!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.

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 4 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 3 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jun 22, 2026 03:30 am (Universal Time)3 minutes ago4.610 km0 km - This quakeGreece: 53 km W From StrofadesMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 2,100 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.1 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 10.5 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 1.5 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 36.6 quakes per year (or 3 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 299 quakes per year (or 24.9 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 1,400 quakes per year (or 4 quakes per day)Mag. 1 or higher: 2,100 quakes per year (or 5.8 quakes per day)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 12 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 10 to 15 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
