2/cont. This makes Malta more prone to a tsunami due to the steep shelf of the Ionian Sea Basin separating Malta & Sicily from Greece. As the strength of a tsunami in Malta depends on a tremor's mag. & depth, only a mild tsunami would be felt locally at a steep depth of 62 km.

Worth noting that the current swarm of earthquakes differs from those up to a few weeks ago off Santorini. The current swarm off Crete at lat. 35.86N is coming from an area in direct line of open sea to Malta at lat. 35.93N, with no land obstruction in between.
