A strong earthquake struck off the coast of Goudoura, in the Lasithi region of eastern Crete. The tremor caused disturbance across the area, with residents reporting shaking felt widely throughout the eastern part of the island. Goudoura is a coastal village on the southeastern shore of Crete, roughly 30 kilometers from Ierapetra. Tourists staying in eastern Crete, including popular areas such as Makrigialos, Ierapetra, and the Lasithi Plateau, may have felt the quake. Aftershocks are possible following significant seismic events. Visitors are advised to stay calm, move away from the coastline as a precaution until authorities confirm no tsunami risk, and follow guidance from local authorities and hotel staff. Crete sits in an active seismic zone and minor to moderate earthquakes occur regularly. No structural damage or injuries have been reported at this stage.
