An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 occurred early morning on Tuesday, May 13th, 2025, at 2:30 am local time near Oia, Kykládes, South Aegean, Greece, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 5.10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.5 earthquake.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Arkesini (pop. 110) located 20 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Fira (pop. 2,400) located 33 km from the epicenter, Messaria (pop. 1,200) 34 km away, Oia (pop. 3,400) 34 km away, Emporeio (pop. 1,900) 37 km away, Ios (pop. 2,000) 38 km away, Naxos (pop. 7,100) 60 km

A shallow magnitude 3.2 earthquake was reported early morning near Ioannina, Epirus, Greece.
According to the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), the quake hit on Tuesday, May 13th, 2025, at 2:08 am local time at a shallow depth of 23.80 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), which listed it as a magnitude 3.2 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Seismological Survey of Serbia (SSS) at magnitude 3.4, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 3.2, The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 3.1, The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 2.9, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 3.1.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Asfaka (pop. 270) located 2 km from the epicenter, Eleousa (pop. 3,500) 9 km away, Vounoplagia (pop. 1,400) 11 km away, Eksochi (pop. 3,000) 12 km away,
