Back to newsA minor magnitude 2.5 earthquake occurred approximately 22 kilometers south of Kaloi Limenes, on the southern coast of Crete, on Saturday, July 4, 2026, at 11:43 pm local time (GMT +3). This type of low-magnitude seismic event is common in the eastern Mediterranean region and poses no risk to people or infrastructure. Tourists in the area were unlikely to have felt it, and there are no reports of damage, injuries, or disruptions to services. No action is required from visitors. Crete sits in a seismically active zone, so small earthquakes like this occur regularly and are monitored continuously by Greek seismological authorities. Travel, accommodation, and beach access in the Kaloi Limenes area and across southern Crete remain unaffected.
