Several buildings were damaged in Turkey's western Izmir province, according to officials, but there was no immediate information on casualties.
Footage from Turkish broadcaster DHA showed one entirely collapsed building in the city of Bornova and another which were severely damaged but still standing.
Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency said Friday's earthquake was centered in the Aegean at a depth of 16,5 kilometers (10.3 miles) and registered at a 6.6 magnitude.
The emergency authority said it had sent search and rescue teams to Izmir.
The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre meanwhile said the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.9, with an epicenter 13 kilometers (8 miles) north northeast of the Greek island of Samos.
The United States Geological Survey put the magnitude at 7.0.
