Witness location : Oichalia (Greece) (3 km SW from epicenter)

Everyone in the village woke up though it was very late at night

Witness location : Androusa (Greece) (19 km S from epicenter)

Living in Greece, I have experienced earthquakes in the past. The earthquake felt strong (I think this may have been due to my location, quite near the epicentre), and if it had lasted longer would have caused quite a lot of damage. Fortunately it was over very quickly.

Witness location : Kalamata (Greece) (27 km S from epicenter)

obviously this is subjective.. but having lived through a few earthquakes here i quickly ascertained it was not of a worrying scale  although my 12 year old son felt it was of a much longer duration than it actually was and was quite frightened.

Witness location : Avia (Greece) (35 km S from epicenter)

I haven't checked my house and garden properly yet for any damage but superficially there appears to be no problems. I don't know how long the quake lasted as I had been asleep but it continued for maybe 20seconds after I awoke. There was a very deep rumbling sound, the bed was shaking and all the pictures in my room were swaying.

Witness location : Avia (Greece) (35 km S from epicenter)

I was sleeping and got up

Witness location : Sparta (Greece) (43 km SE from epicenter)

4-5 seconds

Witness location : Lefktro (Greece) (55 km SE from epicenter)

It felt like someone was shaking my bed. The chandelier outside my room was swinging a bit, as well as the cords for the ceiling fan. A few tiny cracks formed in the plaster.
