People likely experienced 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, 200 km (124 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(*)RegionCountry2 km (2 mi)N of epicenterVarvasaina(pop: 1,280)V: ModerateIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece5 km (3 mi)NW of epicenterPyrgos(pop: 22,400)V: ModerateIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece11 km (7 mi)SE of epicenterMakrisia(pop: 1,900)IV: LightIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece15 km (9 mi)W of epicenterKatakolo(pop: 594)IV: LightIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece21 km (13 mi)NW of epicenterAmaliada(pop: 16,800)IV: LightIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece23 km (14 mi)SE of epicenterZacharo(pop: 5,890)IV: LightIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece26 km (16 mi)NE of epicenterFoloi(pop: 2,290)IV: LightIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece31 km (19 mi)NW of epicenterGastouni(pop: 8,110)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece35 km (22 mi)E of epicenterAlifeira(pop: 1,190)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece40 km (25 mi)NW of epicenterArkoudi(pop: 1,310)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece42 km (26 mi)E of epicenterTropaia(pop: 2,220)III: WeakNomos Arkadias, PeloponneseGreece44 km (27 mi)N of epicenterVarda(pop: 3,310)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece44 km (27 mi)NW of epicenterKyllini(pop: 1,080)III: WeakIlia Prefecture, West GreeceGreece47 km (29 mi)S of epicenterKyparissia(pop: 5,030)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece49 km (30 mi)N of epicenterKato Mazaraki(pop: 1,010)III: WeakAchaea, West GreeceGreece50 km (31 mi)SE of epicenterKopanaki(pop: 1,500)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece51 km (32 mi)N of epicenterVrachnaiika(pop: 4,830)III: WeakAchaea, West GreeceGreece54 km (34 mi)W of epicenterZakynthos(pop: 11,500)III: WeakNomos Zakynthou, Ionian IslandsGreece56 km (35 mi)S of epicenterFiliatra(pop: 6,970)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece59 km (37 mi)N of epicenterVrachnaiika(pop: 2,570)III: WeakAchaea, West GreeceGreece62 km (39 mi)NE of epicenterKleitoria(pop: 2,040)III: WeakAchaea, West GreeceGreece64 km (40 mi)SE of epicenterMegalopoli(pop: 5,280)III: WeakNomos Arkadias, PeloponneseGreece64 km (40 mi)SE of epicenterMeligalas(pop: 1,430)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece66 km (41 mi)S of epicenterGargalianoi(pop: 6,280)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece67 km (42 mi)W of epicenterKatastarion(pop: 1,380)III: WeakNomos Zakynthou, Ionian IslandsGreece69 km (43 mi)NE of epicenterKalavryta(pop: 1,630)III: WeakAchaea, West GreeceGreece69 km (43 mi)N of epicenterPátrai(pop: 168,000)III: WeakAchaea, West GreeceGreece70 km (43 mi)SE of epicenterAristomenis(pop: 1,700)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece71 km (44 mi)E of epicenterLevidion(pop: 1,030)III: WeakNomos Arkadias, PeloponneseGreece73 km (45 mi)SE of epicenterFalaisia(pop: 1,460)III: WeakNomos Arkadias, PeloponneseGreece76 km (47 mi)SE of epicenterAris(pop: 1,040)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece79 km (49 mi)N of epicenterGalatas(pop: 1,060)III: WeakAitoloakarnania, West GreeceGreece79 km (49 mi)N of epicenterAgios Vasileios(pop: 2,890)III: WeakAchaea, West GreeceGreece84 km (52 mi)NE of epicenterAigio(pop: 20,400)III: WeakAchaea, West GreeceGreece86 km (54 mi)SE of epicenterPetalidi(pop: 2,560)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece87 km (54 mi)NE of epicenterDiakopto(pop: 5,600)III: WeakAchaea, West GreeceGreece87 km (54 mi)SE of epicenterKalamata(pop: 54,100)III: WeakNomos Messinias, PeloponneseGreece88 km (55 mi)SE of epicenterPellana(pop: 1,930)II: Very weakNomos Lakonias, PeloponneseGreece93 km (58 mi)NE of epicenterSylivainiotika(pop: 1,600)II: Very weakAchaea, West GreeceGreece200 km (124 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!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.

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 7, 2025 05:27 pm (GMT +3)3 minutes ago4.35 km0 km - This quake5.1 km SE of Pyrgos, Ilia Prefecture, West Greece, GreeceMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 5,400 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.18 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 5.6 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 1.75 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 41 quakes per year (or 3.4 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 337 quakes per year (or 28.1 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 1,900 quakes per year (or 5.3 quakes per day)Mag. 1 or higher: 4,900 quakes per year (or 13.4 quakes per day)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 22 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 5 to 10 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
