Back to newsA light magnitude 3.0 earthquake was recorded on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at 11:00 am local time (GMT +3) in the Eastern Mediterranean, approximately 120 kilometers south of Kasos Island, Greece. Kasos is a small island southeast of Crete, near the Dodecanese chain. At this magnitude and distance, the tremor was unlikely to have been felt on Crete itself and poses no threat to visitors. No damage or tsunami risk has been reported. Seismic activity of this level is common in the Eastern Mediterranean due to the region's active tectonic setting. Tourists currently on Crete or planning to visit can continue their trips without concern. For those island-hopping near Kasos or the southern Dodecanese, no disruptions to ferry services have been reported at this time.
