Authorities “should put a fence” on the mountain,” the elderly woman told local media ilialive.

Granny Aggeliki was not the only resident of Katakolo to be scared of and concerned about the earthquakes that keep rattling the area.

Others saw cracks on their houses, while traders saw their goods on the floor of their stores.

Three earthquakes with magnitude 4.5R, 4.8R and 4.3R occurred in the area of West Peloponnese and in the sea area of Zakynthos on Monday. Dozens of aftershocks followed.

A tremor with 4.1R rattled the area of Andravida, a little more in the North, short before 2 o’ clock Wednesday noon.

Locals are concerned but seismologists are reassuring saying that they closely monitor the phenomenon, while the Civil Protection mechanism and the local authorities are prepared for any possible case.
