Back to newsA magnitude 3.2 earthquake struck south of Crete and was felt across several areas of Eastern Crete. The tremor was recorded by seismological services and caused minor shaking in the region. Earthquakes of this size are common in Crete and the broader Eastern Mediterranean, which sits in one of Europe's most seismically active zones. A 3.2 magnitude event is generally considered minor and poses no significant risk to buildings, infrastructure, or safety. Tourists in Eastern Crete may have felt light vibrations but there are no reports of damage, injuries, or disruption to services. No action is required from visitors. If you experience a stronger tremor during your stay, standard advice applies: move away from windows, stand in a doorway or under a sturdy table, and follow guidance from local authorities.
