A 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Lasithi region in eastern Crete. The tremor was felt across a wide area of the island, causing noticeable shaking in nearby towns and villages. Lasithi is home to popular tourist destinations including the Lasithi Plateau, the Dikteon Cave (birthplace of Zeus in Greek mythology), and the coastal town of Agios Nikolaos. Earthquakes of this magnitude are relatively common in Crete, which sits in one of Europe's most seismically active zones. No injuries or major structural damage have been reported at this time. Tourists in the area should follow standard earthquake safety guidance: stay calm, move away from buildings if outdoors, and check local authorities for updates. Normal travel and tourism activities in the region are not expected to be disrupted.
