A magnitude 3.7 earthquake was recorded offshore Crete, according to Greek seismological reports. The tremor occurred in the sea area off the island's coast. Earthquakes of this size are common in the eastern Mediterranean, which sits in one of Europe's most seismically active regions, and a 3.7 magnitude event is generally considered minor. It is unlikely to cause structural damage or pose a safety risk to visitors on the island. Tourists staying in hotels or villas should be aware that small tremors are a normal part of life in Crete and across Greece. No tsunami warning was issued. If you feel a tremor during your stay, standard advice applies: stay calm, move away from windows, and follow guidance from local authorities. No disruption to transport, beaches, or tourist sites is expected.
