Earthquakes in Greece — January 2025
4 earthquakes were recorded in Greece during January 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.
4 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 10 km.
The month's largest event in Greece was a magnitude 4.9 earthquake near Τριφυλία, Greece on 06 January 2025 at 09:47 UTC. A magnitude 4.9 earthquake radiates roughly 338 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Greece monthly average of 17 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 12 recorded the previous month.
100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.
By band, the catalogue holds 4 in the magnitude 4 range.
Activity peaked on 06 January, when 2 events were recorded.
The month's largest events were M4.9 near Τριφυλία, Greece on 06 January at 10 km; M4.4 near Alivéri, Greece on 30 January at 10 km; M4.3 near Palaióchora, Greece on 03 January at 10 km.
