Per earthquake where occurred at 10:36 am on Thursday, 57 km southwest of Lixouri, the President of the OASP spoke to “K” Efthymis Lekkas. It is noted that the earthquake magnitude 5.4 on the Richter scale happened in the maritime space between Zakynthos as well as Kefalonia. According to the first assessment, an earthquake of magnitude 5.3. The depth of the outbreak is estimated at 11.6 kilometers.

“This is an earthquake in the context of coseismicity, that is, an earthquake common to the regionMr. Lekkas says, and continues: “Its epicenter is quite far from residential areas. Looks like a major quake, but we’ll have to wait a few more hours to be sure.

This is a well-known fault that caused an earthquake between Kefalonia and Zakynthos. It was superficial and was especially noticeable on both islands. However, vigilance is required from citizens and municipal authorities, and I once again draw attention to the protection and security measures that must be reviewed and carefully monitored in the famous Navagio beach in Zakynthos. This is a beach that is potentially very dangerous and vulnerable to landslides.”
