Seismologists are reassuring about the big earthquake noted at dawn in the marine area of Cushion and Karpathos.
Specifically, at 1.50 in the early morning of Wednesday (14.05.2025), seismic was reported 6.1 Richter vibration between Crete, Kaso and Karpathos With a high focal depth by upsetting the inhabitants.
The focal depth was at 64 km and the earthquake occurred 20 km south of Kassos, between Kassos and Karpathos.
In fact, sounded the 112 which gave a tsunami warning, and which called on the inhabitants to move away from the shores.
The earthquake brought disruption to the inhabitants of the islands of the South Aegean and Eastern Crete, where it became particularly noticeable.

The earthquake was also felt in areas of Attica and on the coast of Turkey.
There are no reports of injuries and damage to seismologists being reassured despite the fact that The vibration was strong. This is also reflected by the National Observatory’s seismographer.
As OASP President Efthymi Lekkas said in ERT … “The main feature of this great vibration is that the focal depth is 60 kilometers. This means that the move has reached Kasos and Karpathos and much more in Crete resulting in the first data and the first descriptions of the residents. not to have any significant impacts Of course without having a complete picture. “
The professor also stressed that due to his focal depth, this earthquake is not expected to have a rich post -seismic sequence. “Such earthquakes take place one -off,” he said.
He also pointed out that “the earthquake was essentially on the Greek bow and is not linked to earthquakes in the Cyclades or Turkey”.
