Crete is experiencing an ongoing aftershock sequence following a recent earthquake, with a new tremor of magnitude 4.0 recorded. Aftershocks of this scale are common following larger seismic events and are part of the natural settling process. While a magnitude 4.0 tremor may be felt by people on the island, particularly in upper floors of buildings, it is unlikely to cause significant damage. Tourists visiting Crete should be aware that minor shaking may occur. If you feel a tremor, move away from windows, stand under a sturdy doorframe, or step outside if safe to do so. Authorities are monitoring the sequence. Check local news and your accommodation staff for updates. Crete has a long history of seismic activity and infrastructure is built with this in mind.
