There's been some notable seismic increase from Italy to Türkiye in the last 5 days:
Italy - M 6.0
Greece - M 5.5, M 5.1
Western Türkiye - M 5.1

A stronger tremor is possible near one of these areas. I would also focus on areas in-between, like Levant-Cyprus, Crete and the Aegean. Frank Hoogerbeets
