One of the most seismoactive regions of the Corinth Rift in Greece is the area around Aigion on the southwestern coast of the Gulf of Corinth. The system of active normal faults was determined by both geological and seismological studies. However, many questions persist on total slip rates on the faults, as well as the thickness and geometry of sedimentary cover of the basement formed by Mesozoic carbonates. Moreover, not enough information was available on the structural and tectonic setting between the Helike and Aigion faults. No discussions were held on possible existence and activity of transverse faults of N-S to NNE-SSW direction.
