Leonidio is located on the Greek mainland, not on Crete, approximately 200 kilometers north of the island. Tourists currently visiting Crete were not affected by this event. Minor seismic activity is common throughout Greece due to the region's position along active tectonic fault lines. Visitors to Crete can continue their plans without concern.

No travel disruptions were reported as a result of this tremor.
