A 4.6 magnitude tremor may be felt on land, particularly in coastal areas, but typically causes no structural damage to buildings. Tourists in Crete at the time of such an event may notice brief shaking or rattling. No tsunami warning was issued for earthquakes of this magnitude. Visitors should remain calm, move away from the shoreline as a precaution if shaking is felt, and follow guidance from local authorities. Regular updates are available from the Greek National Observatory (NOA), which monitors seismic activity across the region continuously.
