Magnitude 2.7 earthquake strikes near Corfu, Kérkyra, Ionian Islands, Greece

An earthquake of magnitude 2.7 occurred early afternoon on Sunday, October 5th, 2025, at 2:33 pm local time near Corfu, Kérkyra, Ionian Islands, Greece, as reported by the National Observatory of Athens (NOA).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 8.80 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 2.9. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 2.5, The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 2.6, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 2.7.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Kassiopi (pop. 810) located 0 km from the epicenter, Acharavi (pop. 1000) 9 km away, and Sarande (pop. 15,100) 12 km away. In Kontokali (pop. 1,700, 17 km away), Corfu (pop. 27,000, 19 km away), Potamos (pop. 3,800, 19 km away), Alepou (pop. 3,100, 20 km away), Agios Georgis (pop. 5,000, 20 km away), and Kanali (pop. 4,100, 21 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
