Saturday, 20 June 2026/SourceGoogle News/1 min read
Two earthquakes struck Crete within a six-minute window, according to local reports. While the article does not specify the exact locations or magnitudes, seismic activity is common in Crete due to its position along active fault lines in the eastern Mediterranean. Minor tremors typically cause no damage and pose no risk to visitors. If you feel a tremor, move away from windows and heavy objects, and follow guidance from hotel staff or local authorities. Check updates from the Greek Earthquake Planning and Protection Organisation (OASP) or your accommodation if you experience shaking. Most seismic events in the region are brief and low-intensity. Travel, beaches, and tourist sites generally remain unaffected. Stay informed through local news or your country's travel advisory service if you have concerns during your stay.
