Strong earthquake strikes Evia island, felt in Athens

An earthquake rattled Athens on Tuesday morning with no reports of any damage or fatalities.

The Athens Geodynamic Institute said the quake, of magnitude 5.2, was off Evia island about 50 km (31 miles) northeast of Athens at a depth of 10 km.

 The strong seismic tremor centered near Nea Stira, Evia, that shook Attica was felt over a huge radius.

Beyond Attica and Evia, where citizens were particularly shaken, the tremor was felt in almost the entire Peloponnese, as well as in most of Central Greece and Thessaly. The northwestern Cyclades also felt the earthquake, as did the Sporades.
