Earthquakes in Greece — February 2025

172 earthquakes were recorded in Greece during February 2025, an average of 6.1 per day.

172 reached magnitude 4 or above and 15 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 11 km.

The month's largest event in Greece was a magnitude 5.3 earthquake near Mesariá, Greece on 04 February 2025 at 13:04 UTC. A magnitude 5.3 earthquake radiates roughly 1,344 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Greece monthly average of 17 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 4 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 157 in the magnitude 4 range, 15 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 06 February, when 21 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.3 near Mesariá, Greece on 04 February at 10 km; M5.2 near Amorgós, Greece on 09 February at 10 km; M5.2 near Amorgós, Greece on 10 February at 10 km.

That is 923% above the 17 events Greece averages per month across the 21 months on record.
