An earthquake measuring 4.7 on the Richter scale shook the island of Astypalaia, a little before 1900 on Tuesday.
A light tremor measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale shook the island of Crete, at 01:14 on Wednesday, according to the Geodynamics Institute of Athens’ National Observatory.
The President of the Earthquake Planning & Protection Organisation, Efthymios Lekkas told radio “Athina984FM” that he estimated more tremors would follow after the 4.4R magnitude quake that rocked Athens, late Monday night. “I believe that the activity (seismic) will continue given the fact that there are small faults in the region”, he said.
