Double Earthquake Strikes Crete; No Damage Reported

Saturday, 20 June 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

A double earthquake was felt across Crete, according to Greek broadcaster ANT1 TV. Two seismic events occurred in close succession, both perceptible to residents and visitors on the island. Crete sits in one of the most seismically active zones in Europe, and minor to moderate earthquakes are a regular occurrence. At this time, no significant damage or injuries have been reported. Tourists currently on the island should remain calm, as brief tremors are common and buildings in established tourist areas are generally constructed to withstand seismic activity. If indoors during a tremor, move away from windows and stand under a doorframe or sturdy structure. Check with local authorities or your accommodation for any updated safety guidance. Monitor local news sources for further developments.
