Witness location : 62 Km SE Iraklion (Greece) (11 km NE from epicenter)

it was quite strong. many people were scared.

Witness location : Iraklion (Greece) (62 km NW from epicenter)

Due to great depth, the vibration seemed more like a 4 to 4.2 degrees (even less) and it lasted for abou 10 to 15 seconds. No difficulty in standing still. No noise. No injuries noted in Irakleion. No signs of public chaos (no reason actually). It's realy interesting to hear that it was 5.6-5.7 degrees, but not surprizing since it's in the Euro-african breach.

As stated, it was hardly noticeable. My wife woke up and registered a slight swaying, which woke me up. We were not alarmed at all.
