Back to newsA light magnitude 3.2 earthquake struck the Eastern Mediterranean on Thursday, June 25, 2026, at 11:06 am local time (GMT+3). The epicenter was located approximately 49 kilometers south of Irakleion (Heraklion), the main city and capital of Crete, placing it offshore in the sea rather than directly beneath populated areas.
At this magnitude, the tremor is considered minor and is unlikely to have caused any structural damage or posed a safety risk. Earthquakes of this size are common in the Eastern Mediterranean, one of the most seismically active regions in Europe. Visitors in Heraklion or nearby areas may have felt a brief, mild shaking. No tsunami warning was issued. Tourists can continue their activities as normal, and no disruption to ports, airports, or roads has been reported.
