Back to newsA minor earthquake of magnitude 2.5 was recorded on Sunday, June 28, 2026, at 8:18 pm local time (GMT+3), with its epicenter located approximately 21 kilometers north of Antikythera, a small island situated between Crete and the Peloponnese. Earthquakes of this magnitude are common in the broader Aegean region, which sits on active tectonic fault lines, and typically cause no damage or structural risk. At this intensity, most people do not feel anything, and there is no impact on travel, accommodation, or daily activities in Crete. Tourists visiting the island can continue their plans without concern. The Greek seismic network monitors activity across the region continuously, and local authorities would issue guidance promptly if any meaningful risk were identified.
