Psathoura Island, in the northern Aegean Sea Sporades Archipelago, has outcrops of small overlapping lava flows (Koutsovitis et al., 2015), dated by Fytikas et al. (1984) as 0.7 Ma. Other volcanism in the central and northern Aegean islands and the Western Thrace area of mainland Greece is of Oligocene to Pliocene age, with Quaternary volcanism being restricted to the southern Aegean arc (Fytikas et al., 1984). The volcanism is controlled by faulting along the North Aegean Trough, a westward extension of the North Anatolian Fault (Pe-Piper and Piper, 2007; Koutsovitis et al., 2015).
