A minor magnitude 2.4 earthquake was recorded in the Eastern Mediterranean on Saturday, July 11, 2026, at 6:52 PM local time. The epicenter was located 23 kilometers southeast of Karpathos Island, placing it well away from Crete in the southeastern Aegean Sea. At this magnitude, the tremor was too weak to cause damage and was likely unfelt by most people on the surface. Earthquakes of this size are common throughout the Greek island region due to ongoing tectonic activity and pose no threat to visitors. No tsunami warnings were issued. Tourists currently in Crete or on nearby islands can continue their plans without concern. If you ever feel a tremor while traveling in Greece, stay calm, move away from windows, and follow guidance from local authorities.
