A magnitude 2.8 earthquake near Amaliada, Ilia Prefecture, West Greece, Greece, was reported 35 minutes ago by the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in Greece. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 17.50 km beneath the epicenter late at night on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025, at 10:18 pm local time. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 2.8 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 2.6, The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 2.7, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 2.7.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Moni Vlachernon (pop. 75) located 1 km from the epicenter, Kyllini (pop. 1,100) 3 km away, Vartholomio (pop. 3,100) 7 km away, Andravida (pop. 3,600) 10 km away, Lechaina (pop. 3,700) 10 km away, and Gastouni (pop. 8,100) 11 km away. In Amaliada (pop. 16,800, 21 km away), Pyrgos (pop. 22,400, 36 km away), and Pátrai (pop.

An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 occurred only 15 minutes ago 26 km northwest of Amaliada, Greece, the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) reported.
The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 5. km beneath the epicenter near Amaliada, Ilia Prefecture, West Greece, Greece, late at night on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025, at 10:09 pm local time. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 3.3, The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 3.2, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 3.4.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Kato Panagia (pop. 680) located 5 km from the epicenter, Kyllini (pop. 1,100) 5 km away, and Vartholomio (pop. 3,100) 11 km away.
