Two Earthquakes Strike Crete; No Major Damage Reported

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

Two earthquakes struck off the coast of Crete, measuring 5.4 and 4.6 on the Richter scale. Seismic activity of this magnitude is not unusual for the region, as Crete sits in one of the most seismically active zones in Europe. Earthquakes at these magnitudes can be felt across the island and may cause brief alarm, but typically result in little to no structural damage in modern buildings. Tourists visiting Crete should be aware that tremors are a natural part of life on the island. If you feel shaking, move away from windows, take cover under a sturdy table, and wait for the movement to stop. Check with your accommodation or local authorities for any updates. No tsunami warning was indicated for these events.
