Earthquakes in Greece — July 2025

12 earthquakes were recorded in Greece during July 2025, an average of 0.4 per day.

12 reached magnitude 4 or above and 2 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 30 km.

The month's largest event in Greece was a magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Kíssamos, Greece on 23 July 2025 at 13:26 UTC. A magnitude 5.1 earthquake radiates roughly 674 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 13 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 10 in the magnitude 4 range, 2 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 11 July, when 3 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.1 near Kíssamos, Greece on 23 July at 65 km; M5.0 near Palekastro, Greece on 07 July at 10 km; M4.7 near Lithakiá, Greece on 11 July at 31 km.

That is 28% below the 17 events Greece averages per month across the 21 months on record.
