Back to newsA magnitude 4.3 earthquake struck off the coast of Goudouras, in the Lasithi region of eastern Crete, in the early morning hours. Goudouras is a small coastal area located on the southeastern tip of the island, near Ierapetra. Earthquakes of this size are common in the region, as Crete sits in one of the most seismically active zones in Europe. A 4.3 magnitude event is generally felt by residents but rarely causes structural damage. No injuries or significant damage have been reported. Tourists staying in eastern Crete, particularly around Ierapetra or the Lasithi plateau, may have felt light shaking. No tsunami warning was issued. Visitors can continue their plans in the area without concern. Local authorities monitor seismic activity routinely and would issue advisories if any risk to public safety were identified.
