A series of small earthquakes has been recorded in the sea area between Crete and the island of Kasos, located southeast of Crete. The tremors were part of a seismic sequence typical of this geologically active region of the eastern Mediterranean. The area between Crete and the Dodecanese islands sits along one of Greece's most active fault zones, meaning minor seismic activity is common and generally not cause for alarm. No damage or injuries have been reported. Tourists visiting Crete should be aware that small earthquakes are a normal part of life on the island. In the unlikely event of a stronger tremor, follow standard safety guidelines: stay away from windows, take cover under sturdy furniture, and follow instructions from local authorities.
