A 4.7 magnitude earthquake occurred outside Kyllini.

According to sources from the Geodynamic Institute of the National Observatory of Athens, the epicenter of the earthquake was located 12 km. 12 km southwest of Andravida.

Japan is at the forefront of seismic technology but contrary to public perceptions, Greece is not dramatically behind, according to seismologist Gerasimos Papadopoulos, who stressed, however, that it is lacking in adequate earthquake warning systems.

A 3.9 magnitude earthquake occurred at 12.59 p.m. on Sunday in the Corinthian Gulf, with an epicenter 13 km north-northeast of Xylokastro, at a focal depth of 14.2 km.

Two other earthquakes of magnitudes 2.3 and 2.4 preceded in the same area.

According to seismology professor Gerasimos Papadopoulos, this is a series of earthquakes, with little chance of a larger earthquake.

In the wake of 4.2 magnitude earthquake in Nafpaktos, seismologist Gerasimos Papadopoulos has stressed the need for preparation and vigilance noting that the Corinthian Gulf can "give" large earthquakes.

In the past two months, Greece has seen an increase in seismic activity, with moderately strong earthquakes that do not exceed a Richter scale threshold of five degrees.

Indicatively, three locations, Lesvos, the sea area north of Crete, and Evia, have experienced an increase in seismic activity, but this coincidence is not thought to be related to usual geodynamic processes.

Greek seismologists warned that a 4.9-magnitude earthquake that shook the island of Lesvos, in the eastern Aegean, early Saturday morning, causing rockfalls and minor damages to old houses, may not be the main event.

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of at least 5.8 struck the Greek island of Crete on Sept. 27, killing one person and injuring several others while damaging homes and churches and causing rock slides near the country's fourth-largest city.

A strong earthquake of 5.8 on the Richter scale, according to the measurement of the Geodynamic Institute, occurred in Crete.

According to the automatic solution of Geodynamic, the earthquake was centered 23 kilometers west-northwest of Arvi.

The focal depth of the strong vibration was 10 km.
