The National Observatory of Athens (NOA) reported a magnitude 3.4 quake in Greece near Rhodes, Dodecanese, South Aegean, only 13 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early afternoon on Tuesday, May 20th, 2025, at 2:26 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. 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 Kandilli Oservatory and Earthquake Research Institute in Istanbul (KOERI-RETMC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.2 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 3.2, The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 3.2, The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) 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 Archangelos (pop. 5,400) located 5 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Afantou
