Visitors on Crete at the time of the quake may have felt shaking, though no major damage to tourist infrastructure has been reported in the available information. If you are currently on Crete, follow standard earthquake safety guidance: stay calm, move away from windows and unsecured objects, and check local Greek civil protection updates at civilprotection.gr for official advisories. Port and airport operations were not reported as disrupted.
