Back to newsTwo 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. If you feel a tremor, move away from windows, take cover under a sturdy table, and follow instructions from local authorities. Hotels and accommodation providers are generally well prepared. No widespread disruption to transport, beaches, or tourist sites has been reported in connection with this event.
