There just seems to be alot of earthquakes recently, all across the world reaching from places where earthquakes generally happen to places where earthquakes rarely happen. Greece is obviously very seismicly active so of course you will have an earthquake every once in a while but it is just that there is constantly earthquakes atleast 1 earthquake at a magnitude 5.5 or higher every week.
