Earthquake was felt in all parts of Greece and Turkey and even in Israel and Cypar. Specialist have issued tsunami warning, so stay away from coast. “This was most likely the major quake and there will be more aftershocks to follow, which are not really a cause for concern,” said Geodynamic Institute chief George Stavrakakis. Greece is often rattled by quakes but most do not cause serious damage. Second quake have hit same place but now only 5.3 magnitude. This quake is aftershock of previous strong earthquake.
