Western Lesvos

A large amount of waste was collected and removed last week from Kalloni Bay in Mytilini by divers from the environmental organization iSea and the Department of Oceanography of the University of the Aegean, the municipality of Western Lesvos, and volunteers.

The action aimed at raising awareness of marine pollution issues. 

A strong 4.8 Richter earthquake occurred in Mytilini on Tuesday morning.

According to the revised estimate of the Geodynamic Institute, the earthquake occurred 5 km east southeast of Mithymna Lesvos and had a focal depth of 12.4 km.

Tempestuous weather wreaked problems in various parts of the country on Tuesday.
Andros and Tinos were left without electricity after the two power lines supplying the Aegean islands were damaged in gale-force winds.
Electricity grid operator DEDDIE said that technical crews were working to restore power to the two islands of nearly 18,000 inhabitants.
