A magnitude 4.2 earthquake struck near Goudouras, a coastal village in the Lasithi region of eastern Crete. The tremor was recorded by seismological institutes and felt across parts of the eastern island. Earthquakes of this size are common in Crete due to its location along active tectonic fault lines in the eastern Mediterranean. A 4.2 magnitude event is generally minor and unlikely to cause structural damage to well-built buildings. Tourists in the area may have felt light shaking but there is no indication of injuries or damage at this time. No tsunami warning was issued. If you are staying in eastern Crete and experience a tremor, standard advice applies: stay calm, move away from windows, and follow guidance from local authorities or your accommodation staff.
