Over the past 30 days, Greece has recorded 12 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 1 reached magnitude 5.0 or higher. 11 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. By depth: 11 shallow (<70 km), 1 intermediate (70–300 km). 8 of the epicenters were offshore. 2 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 33 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Cluster detection flagged 2 aftershock sequences; the largest contained 3 smaller events within 20 km and 72 hours of its mainshock. Focal depths ranged from 10.0 km to 141.8 km. All 12 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.
Leading the list is a magnitude 5.2 event near 7 km W of Prokópi, Greece at 10.0 km depth, which drew 18 felt reports from the public. The second-ranked event, at magnitude 4.9 near 5 km ENE of Límni, Greece, trails by 0.3 magnitude units — a narrow gap, indicating two comparably energetic events in the current window. Rounding out the top three is a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near 6 km W of Prokópi, Greece.
