A 4.1 Richter earthquake rattled the island of Amorgos in the Cyclades early Friday morning, ending a long stretch of seismic calm. Striking at 05:47, the quake’s epicenter was 14 kilometers south-southwest of Arkesini, with a depth of 15 kilometers, according to the Geodynamic Institute of Athens. Minutes earlier, two smaller tremors of 3.3 and 2.9 Richter had also shaken the region.
A 3.9-magnitude earthquake struck west of Kassos on Tuesday morning, with a focal depth of 10 kilometers, according to the Geodynamic Institute of Greece. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. Authorities have advised residents to follow official earthquake safety guidelines, including taking cover indoors, avoiding windows, and staying clear of unstable structures in open areas.
A 4.4-magnitude earthquake struck near Rhodes late Monday night, with its epicenter 14 km west of Katavia, according to the Geodynamic Institute. The tremor, recorded at 23:46 local time, had a focal depth of 21.5 km. No damage or injuries have been reported, but authorities continue to monitor the situation in the seismically active Dodecanese region.
A 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck Amorgos on Monday morning, following a 4.1 foreshock just minutes earlier. The quake’s epicenter was 22 km south-southwest of Arkesini, at a depth of 5 km. Authorities are monitoring the situation, with no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Over 16,900 earthquakes, including two exceeding magnitude 4, rattled the region between the Greek islands of Amorgos and Santorini from late January to mid-February. While the two larger quakes prompted attention, the overall seismic activity is reportedly decreasing, according to the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA).
A double earthquake measuring 3.2 and 3.5 on the Richter scale struck Mount Athos on the afternoon of February 15, 2025. The epicenter was near Karyes, with the initial tremor occurring at 5:13 PM.
On February 13, 2025, two seismic tremors measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale struck the sea between Santorini and Amorgos. Occurring within minutes of each other, the events were recorded by the Geodynamic Institute, raising concerns about the region’s geological volatility.
Two seismic tremors measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale were recorded this afternoon in the sea area between Santorini and Amorgos. The Geodynamic Institute of the National Observatory of Athens reported that the first tremor occurred at 17:40 and was followed by another two minutes later. Both had epicenters located south-southwest of Arkesini, Amorgos, highlighting ongoing seismic activity in the region.
A double earthquake measuring 4.2 on the Richter scale struck the sea area between Santorini and Amorgos early Thursday morning, just one minute apart. The tremors prompted authorities to declare a state of emergency in Amorgos, following a similar measure already in place for Santorini. Seismic activity in the region is being closely monitored.
On February 13, 2025, the region between Santorini and Amorgos experienced two earthquakes, each with a magnitude of 4.2, occurring one minute apart. This seismic activity adds to the ongoing disturbances in the Cyclades, causing concern among residents and scientists alike.
A series of five earthquakes struck the sea between Amorgos and Santorini overnight, with the strongest measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale. The tremors, recorded early Wednesday, are part of ongoing seismic activity in the Cyclades, where over 1,100 earthquakes have been detected since February 1. Experts continue to monitor the region as concerns over persistent tectonic movements grow.
A 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Amorgos on Tuesday morning (February 11), amid a swarm of seismic activity in the region. The Geodynamic Institute of Athens reported the quake had a focal depth of 16.2 km and an epicentre 12 km south of Arkesini. While no damage or injuries have been reported, authorities are closely monitoring the situation as aftershocks remain possible. Greece, a seismically active country, frequently experiences tremors, though most cause little impact.
A strong earthquake measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale struck off the coast of Santorini and Amorgos, felt as far as Attica and Crete. This marks the strongest earthquake in the area to date, with the epicenter located 14 kilometers south-southwest of Arkesini, Amorgos, at a depth of 17 kilometers, as reported by the Geodynamic Institute.
Residents of the Attica region felt the tremors of a significant earthquake that occurred today…
On the night of February 9, 2025, a series of earthquakes struck the Greek islands of Santorini and Amorgos, with the strongest measuring 5.0 in magnitude. The seismic activity, which included a previous 5.2 magnitude earthquake on February 5, has raised concerns and prompted expert analysis. Professor K. Papazachos of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki noted the ongoing seismic swarming pattern, indicating that while the probability of a larger quake has lessened, it cannot be entirely dismissed. Residents are urged to remain patient as the situation develops.
A series of significant earthquakes struck the Greek island of Amorgos on Sunday night, with magnitudes of 4.7 and 5 on the Richter scale occurring ten minutes apart. These events have heightened awareness and prompted discussions on safety and preparedness in the seismically active region. Local authorities remain vigilant as experts analyze the potential for further seismic activity.
An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0 Richter was recently recorded off the coast of…
Seismic activity continues in the Santorini-Amorgos region, with the strongest tremor so far recorded at 5.2 magnitude on February 4th. Experts believe a major earthquake exceeding 6.0 on the Richter scale is unlikely, but aftershocks may persist for weeks. Over 6,400 tremors have been recorded in just nine days, prompting close monitoring by seismologists and authorities.
A 5.2 magnitude earthquake hit near Santorini on Wednesday night, becoming the strongest tremor in the area in recent days. The region has been shaken by over 6,400 quakes in the last nine days, prompting concern among scientists and causing many residents to leave. The activity is part of an earthquake swarm, with potential for either a gradual subsidence or a larger main earthquake. Efthymis Lekkas has warned of an increased risk of landslides on Santorini.
