The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) – which revised down an initial reading of 5.7 magnitude – said the quake struck 3.1 miles below the surface in the gulf separating mainland Greece from the Peloponnese peninsula.<\/p>\n

It traveled 10 miles from Itea.<\/p>\n

As they are closer in proximity to the surface, shallow earthquakes are more powerful than those that are deeper.<\/p>\n

The tremor occurred at 1am local time and was felt as far as Athens, the capital of Greece, about 71 miles away.<\/p>\n

In October 2013, a massive earthquake of 6.0 magnitude struck Greece. The tremors were felt even further away in Egypt and Syria.<\/p>\n

According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the epicentre was located 93 miles east of Karpathos in Greece.<\/p>\n

That quake was also felt in the eastern part of Crete following\u00a0the previous month’s huge quake\u00a0which destroyed a church when three builders were inside, killing a new grandad.<\/p>\n

As many as 1,000 homes were reported to have been damaged by the earthquake of 6.0 magnitude, at least 24 people were left with injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
