A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck off the coast of Lasithi, in eastern Crete. The tremor was recorded offshore, meaning it occurred beneath the sea rather than directly under populated areas. Earthquakes of this size are common in the eastern Mediterranean and typically cause no significant damage or injuries. Lasithi is home to popular tourist destinations including the Minoan palace of Zakros, the Lasithi Plateau, and the coastal town of Agios Nikolaos. No disruption to roads, ferries, or local services has been reported. Visitors in the area may have felt a brief shake but there is no cause for concern. If you are staying in Crete and experience seismic activity, standard advice applies: stay calm, move away from windows, and follow guidance from your accommodation staff.
