Seismic activity in Evia, Greece

Overview

In mid-September 2026, the northern Evia region of Greece experienced a series of earthquakes with magnitudes ranging between 4.0 and 4.3. The tremors, occurring near Prokopio and Vasilika Istrias, were felt as far as Attica and Athens.

Seismologists from the Geodynamic Institute are monitoring the sequence to determine if the events constitute a continuing sequence or follow a mainshock. Euthymios Lekkas, President of OASP, noted that while activity has increased, the area is not typically subject to significantly larger magnitudes. No immediate injuries or significant structural damage have been confirmed.
