According to the Geodynamic Institute of Athens, the epicenter of the tremors was four kilometers west/northwest of Mandamados, in the Lepetimnos area. The focus depth was 17.5 km.

The main shock was followed by a series of aftershocks – at 04:01 the strongest of them was recorded, with a magnitude of 3.3 on the Richter scale and with an epicenter in the marine area, between Μυτιλήνης and Μικρασιατικών.

As new data becomes available, they are constantly updated.
