A magnitude 3.6 earthquake near Oia, Kykládes, South Aegean, Greece, was reported only 16 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 very shallow depth of 5. km beneath the epicenter early afternoon on Friday, August 22nd, 2025, at 2:55 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the Kandilli Oservatory and Earthquake Research Institute in Istanbul (KOERI-RETMC) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.6 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 4.1, The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 3.5, and The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 3.6.
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 Kalotaritissa (pop. 20) located 14 km from the epicenter.
