An earthquake of 5.6 magnitude hit an area in the Ionian Sea off the coast of Greece on Sunday, the US government reported.

The epicentre of the tremor, which occurred at 1023 GMT (2023 AEST) was located 152 kilometres west southwest of Patras, Greece, according to the US Geological Survey.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

The reading was based on the open-ended Moment Magnitude scale, now used by US seismologists, which measures the area of the fault that ruptured and the total energy released.
