We were in Kefalonia at the time. We couldn't have been in a worse place -talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place! We were standing on the viewpoint above antisamos beach at the time the earthquake struck, taking photos of a superyacht in the bay.
It felt like the ground and our hire car were bouncing, we soon moved off the ledge but then realised we had a rock wall above us and the road. Fortunately no rocks fell down on us or the car.
We have some interesting photos as a souvenir, of the yacht with shockwaves running through the sea underneath.
We were on our second day of holidays when it happened, it was an earthquake that rated 6.5 on the richtor scale in Patras and hurt 120 people.
We just got the back end of it, I have felt tremors in Zakynthos before but this was a lot worse, I actually thought my firend was shaking the back of my sun lounger, people did look worried but it stoped quickly.
Was pretty cool actually...!
