A minor earthquake of magnitude 3.3 struck the Aegean Sea approximately 151 kilometers northeast of Heraklion on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at 1:21 AM local time. The epicenter was well offshore, far from populated areas of Crete. At this magnitude and distance, the tremor would not have been felt by most people on the island, and no damage or injuries are expected. Earthquakes of this size are common in the Eastern Mediterranean region, which sits along active tectonic fault lines. There are no reported impacts on tourism infrastructure, transport, or daily operations across Crete. Visitors to Heraklion and surrounding areas can continue their plans without concern. If you experience any seismic activity during your stay, local authorities recommend staying calm and following standard safety guidance from your accommodation.
