--- Quote ---Earthquake 5.7 Strikes Off Western Peloponnese, No Injuries, Damage

There were no injuries nor damage reported despite its intensity as a 5.7 magnitude earthquake hit off the western Peloponnese, centered beneath the seabed near the Strofades islands, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Greece’s third largest city Patras.

It struck early March 29, said the Athens Geodynamic Institute, earthquakes common in Greece of small sizes, this one called moderate.
