Back to newsA magnitude 3.7 earthquake occurred south of Crete on Sunday, April 20, at 1:51 PM local time. The epicenter was located in the sea south of the island, according to revised data from seismological authorities. Earthquakes of this size are common in the region and are generally not felt strongly on land. No damage or injuries have been reported. Crete sits within one of Europe's most seismically active zones, so minor tremors are a normal part of life here and rarely affect daily activities or infrastructure. Tourists visiting the island do not need to take any special precautions. If you do feel a small tremor during your stay, remain calm, move away from windows, and follow standard safety guidance. Local emergency services monitor seismic activity continuously.
