As stressed by Professor of Geology and President of the OASP, Efthymis Lekkas, speaking to protothema.gr, yesterday’s three tremors are part of the normal for the Ionian region seismic activity.

“We are monitoring the phenomenon, it does not inspire concern,” Lekkas said, adding that the tremors are expected to continue in the same order of magnitude. They are identified to originate from a known transverse fault in the Ionian arc.
