Greece is the country with the highest seismic activity in Europe, having over 2,000 active seismic faults, according to a new study.

A team of researchers conducted a study confirming that Greece is the most seismically active country in Europe, having recorded over 2,000 traces of active seismic faults.

This research led to the creation of the first comprehensive database of seismic faults in Greece, called AFG (Active Faults Greece), which includes 3,815 fault traces, half of which are documented for the first time. The study emphasizes the importance of infrastructure design, such as road networks and dams, considering seismic risks. Greece has recently experienced significant earthquakes, including a 6.1 magnitude quake in Crete and intense seismic activity in Santorini, affecting thousands of residents.
