Back to newsA magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck off the coast of Skiathos, a Greek island in the Sporades region of the Aegean Sea, on Tuesday, April 28, around midday. The tremor was felt across the wider surrounding area. Skiathos is located in northern Greece, roughly 900 kilometers from Crete, so this event has no direct impact on visitors to the island. Seismic activity is common throughout Greece due to its position on active tectonic fault lines. Tourists currently in Crete should be aware that minor earthquakes occur regularly across the country but rarely cause disruption. If you experience a tremor while in Crete, standard advice applies: stay calm, move away from windows, and follow guidance from local authorities. No tsunami warning was issued in connection with this event.
