Earthquake stats:

Just 13 minutes ago, a 3.3-magnitude earthquake struck near Amaliada, Ilia Prefecture, West Greece, Greece. The tremor was recorded early evening on Sunday, July 26th, 2026, at 6:25 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 5. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.2. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 3.1, The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 3.1, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 3.2.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Planos (pop. 740) located 17 km from the epicenter, Gaitanion (pop. 1,900) 19 km away, and Zakynthos (pop. 11,500) 20 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Vartholomio (pop. 3,100) located 26 km from the epicenter, Lechaina (pop. 3,700) 29 km away, Gastouni (pop. 8,100) 30 km away, and Amaliada (pop. 16,800) 41 km away. In Argostoli (pop. 9,800, 46 km away), and Pyrgos (pop. 22,400, 55 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
