A magnitude 6 earthquake struck the southern region of Greece, sending tremors through the area and prompting fears of potential tsunamis.
The European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported the seismic event, which occurred 56km southwest of Prygos around at around 9.12am local time.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries from the quake, which was also felt in the Greek capital and as far away as the southern island of Crete.
Greece lies in a highly seismically active region and earthquakes are common. The vast majority cause no injuries and little to no damage.
Authorities have begun evaluating the potential risk of tsunamis along the coastline.
