Two earthquakes were felt across Crete, according to a report from GOODnet.gr. The tremors occurred close enough together to be described as a double seismic event. Crete sits in one of the most seismically active regions in Europe, and minor to moderate earthquakes are common on the island. Most tremors cause no significant damage and daily life resumes quickly. Tourists visiting Crete should be aware that earthquakes are a normal part of the local environment.

No widespread disruption to transport, beaches, or tourist sites has been reported in connection with this event.
