Gýtheio is located on the southern Peloponnese coast, not on Crete. No reports of damage or injuries have been issued at this time. Earthquakes of this magnitude are common in the eastern Mediterranean and are generally felt locally but rarely cause serious harm. Tourists currently in Crete are not affected by this event. Visitors anywhere in Greece who experience seismic activity should move away from windows, follow guidance from local authorities, and check official Greek civil protection channels (gscp.gr) for updates.
