Back to newsAn earthquake struck the Lasithi region in eastern Crete, triggering an aftershock sequence that seismologists describe as typical in pattern but notable in intensity. Experts estimate the activity may continue for another one to two days before a gradual decrease begins.
Lasithi is home to popular tourist destinations including the Lasithi Plateau, the Dikteon Cave, and the town of Agios Nikolaos. Visitors currently in or planning to travel to eastern Crete should stay informed through local authorities and their accommodation providers.
As a precaution, avoid old or visibly damaged structures, and follow any guidance issued by hotel staff or Greek civil protection authorities.
