A minor earthquake was recorded in the Lasithi region of eastern Crete. Seismologist Efthymios Lekkas, a leading Greek earthquake expert, confirmed the event falls within the normal seismic activity expected for the island and stated there is no cause for concern.
Crete sits in one of the most seismically active zones in Europe, and small tremors occur regularly without posing a risk to residents or visitors. No damage to infrastructure or buildings has been reported in connection with this event.
Tourists staying in or traveling through the Lasithi area, which includes destinations such as the Lasithi Plateau and the town of Agios Nikolaos, can continue their plans as normal. Authorities are monitoring the situation but have issued no warnings or advisories. Standard travel and accommodation arrangements remain unaffected.
