Seismic activity continues in the sea area between Crete and the island of Kasos, located southeast of Crete. This zone is part of one of the most seismically active regions in Europe, and minor to moderate earthquakes in this stretch of the Aegean are common. Greek authorities and seismological institutes are monitoring the situation. For visitors, small earthquakes are frequently felt on the eastern side of Crete, including areas around Sitia and Ierapetra, but they typically cause no damage or disruption to daily life. No warnings or alerts have been issued. Tourists should stay informed through local news or the official Geodynamic Institute of Athens, and follow standard guidance: stay calm, move away from windows, and follow instructions from local authorities if a stronger event occurs.
