Back to newsTwo earthquakes struck Crete overnight, shaking the island at both ends. Seismic activity is common in Crete due to its location on active fault lines in the eastern Mediterranean. No details on magnitude, exact locations, or damage are available from the current report. Tourists staying on the island should be aware that minor to moderate earthquakes occur regularly in the region. If you experience shaking, stay calm, move away from windows, and follow standard earthquake safety precautions: take cover under a sturdy table or doorframe and wait for the tremor to pass. Check with your accommodation staff for any local guidance. Monitor official Greek civil protection channels (civilprotection.gr) for updates if further activity is reported.
