The Mediterranean region is seismically active due to the northward convergence (4-10 mm/yr) of the African plate with respect to the Eurasian plate along a complex plate boundary. Greece lies within this seismically active area. Earthquakes have historically caused widespread damage not only in Crete, but also across central and southern Greece, Cyprus, Sicily and other neighboring regions. - See more at: greece.greekreporter/2014/08/22/5-1-magnitude-earthquake-shakes-thessaloniki-northern-greece/#sthash.OeR0OhC8.dpuf
