The highest deformation rate along the Africa/Eurasia convergence zone is welldocumented in the Aegean area, being >4 cm/yr. However, it is still under question whethercontinental deformation is distributed along major faults which extend through the wholelithosphere or over large areas. Furthermore, our knowledge concerning the implication oflithosphere-asthenosphere coupling in lithospheric plates driving forces is poor. Thesequestions can not easily be answered as most of the available information is mainly located ator close to the surface (geodesy, tectonics, seismicity). The high rates and type of surfacecontinental deformation within the Aegean constitute this region particularly interesting in thisperspective.This work is towards contributing to the better knowledge of the physical properties ofthe Aegean lithosphere by introducing experimental elastic and anelastic parameters inferredfrom long period Rayleigh wave. For this scope path-average phase velocities and attenuationcoefficients of fundamental Rayleigh wave crossing the Aegean were extracted over theperiod range 10-100 s. The wavetrains were recorded at the temporary broadband stationsinstalled some years ago in the Aegean region within the framework of a large scaleexperiment (SEISFAULTGREECE project).
