    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_Greece

    In mainland Greece, normal faulting gives earthquakes up to 7 in magnitude, while in the northern Aegean, strike-slip events with a magnitude of 7.2 have been recorded. Large intermediate depth (>50 km) earthquakes of magnitude >7 from within the subducting African plate have been recorded but such events cause little damage, although they are ...

    The local tectonic movement on these two fault sets are 0.3–1.3 mm/yr and 0.6–1.0 mm/yr respectively. These faults range from 3 km to 30 km in length and can produce earthquakes of magnitude of 7.0 at their maximum. [9] The epicentre of the earthquake lies within the Heraklion sedimentary basin, which is fault-controlled.
