Strong earthquakes struck the sea area between Kasos island and Crete recently. Kasos is a small island located southeast of Crete, near the Dodecanese chain. Seismic activity in this region is common due to the area's position along active fault lines in the eastern Mediterranean. No significant damage to Crete's tourist infrastructure has been reported. Visitors currently on the island should remain calm, follow guidance from local authorities, and be aware of standard safety procedures: stay away from tall structures during tremors, move to open ground if indoors, and avoid coastal areas immediately after a strong quake as a precaution against wave activity. Tourists should monitor updates from local authorities and their accommodation providers for any further developments.
