Back to newsA magnitude 3.7 earthquake struck south of Goudouras, a small coastal village in the Lasithi region of eastern Crete. The tremor was recorded by seismological institutes and is considered a minor to light earthquake by international standards. Earthquakes of this magnitude are common in Crete, which sits in one of the most seismically active zones in Europe. At this intensity, shaking may be felt by people nearby but typically causes no structural damage and poses no significant risk to buildings or infrastructure. Tourists visiting the Lasithi area, including popular destinations such as Ierapetra and the south coast beaches, do not need to take any special precautions. Greek authorities routinely monitor seismic activity across the island, and no alerts or warnings have been issued following this event.
