The epicentre of the quake was apparently on the Greek island of Rhodes.
According to http://www.haberturk.com/gundem/haber/7 ... zde-deprem there are no reports of ınjury or damage on the Turkish mainland. However, it did cause panic in some areas of Muğla.
According to http://www.haberkktc.com/haber/akdenizd ... 40955.html the quake was strong enough to be felt here in Cyprus.
Last month, on June 10th, there was a 6.0 eathquake with its epicentre just off Ölü Deniz :

Actually it is being recorded as "6". not "6.0" ... suggesting the Kandilli Research Centre is not yet certain (at least to the nearest 0.1) of the quake's strength.
