In February 3, 2014, 03:08 GMT (05:08 local time), eight days after the moment magnitude, M6.1, earthquake that hit the region of Cephalonia, another strong earthquake with a moment magnitude, M6.0, occurred at the Paliki peninsula, western coasts of the Cephalonia island, about 7km northwest of the Lixouri town. According to the Hellenic Unified Seismological Network (HUSN), it was a shallow crustal event with epicenter 38.25N, 20.39E and depth 10km.

From the epicenter and focal mechanisms of the earthquakes it is deduced that they are related to the Cephalonia Transform Fault (CTF) (Scordilis et al. 1985). This is a dextral strike-slipe fault with a thrust component (Papazachos and Papazachou 1997, 2003).
