Two earthquakes were recorded recently in the Greek islands, with a 4.8 magnitude tremor striking near Sifnos and a separate event near Skiathos, according to the Geodynamic Institute. Both quakes were felt across parts of Attica, including the greater Athens area. Neither event was centered on Crete. Earthquakes are common throughout Greece due to its seismic activity, and minor tremors rarely cause significant damage or disruption. Visitors to Crete should be aware that the island sits in an active seismic zone, but standard safety guidance applies: if you feel a tremor, move away from windows, stay calm, and follow local authority instructions. No travel disruptions to or from Crete have been reported in connection with these events.
