Immediately after the earthquake, we conducted several post-tsunami field surveys including interviews in coastal zones impacted by the tsunami, i.e., the coastlines of Bodrum Peninsula, Karaada Islet and Akyaka Town in Gökova Bay, Turkey, and eastern Kos Island, Greece. We present observations and measurements to document the variation of the tsunami effects along the coast. The largest tsunami runup was about 1.9 m and observed at the mouth of a small dry streambed at Gumbet Bay, Bodrum. No significant water motions were reported at the northern and western coasts of Bodrum Peninsula. The tsunami runup distribution along the coast of eastern Kos was overall regular, with runup not exceeding 1 m except in the Port of Kos where a 1.5 m tsunami runup was measured.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Pure and Applied Geophysics17672925-2949 Dogan Gozde Guney Annunziato Alessandro Papadopoulos, Gerasimos Güler Haşan Gökhan Yalçiner, Ahmet C Cakir Tarık Eray Sozdinler Ceren Ozer Ulutaş Ergin Arikawa Taro Süzen Mehmet Lütfi Güler Işikhan Probst Pamela Kânoğlu, Utku Synolakis Kostas Συνολακης Κωστας Springer Nature [academic journals on nature.com] Bodrum Earthquake Kos Post-tsunami field survey Tsunami Tsunami effects Tsunami runup
