Seismologists have reassured residents of Attica that recent small earthquakes, including tremors in Chalandri and Agia Paraskevi, do not indicate the likelihood of a major earthquake. Geodynamic Institute Research Director Athanasios Ganas explained that the microseismic activity, linked to natural fluid circulation in the earth's crust, poses no risk. He also emphasized that most buildings in the region have been tested against seismic activity, though older structures may require attention.
