Earthquakes in Greece — February 2026

10 earthquakes were recorded in Greece during February 2026, an average of 0.4 per day.

10 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 37 km.

The month's largest event in Greece was a magnitude 4.9 earthquake near Kíssamos, Greece on 07 February 2026 at 22:33 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 up from the 4 recorded the previous month.

90% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 10% 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.

Activity peaked on 06 February, when 3 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M4.9 near Kíssamos, Greece on 07 February at 58 km; M4.6 near Levídion, Greece on 16 February at 61 km; M4.6 near Pýlos, Greece on 19 February at 10 km.

That is 41% below the 17 events Greece averages per month across the 21 months on record.
