Back to newsA light magnitude 3.6 earthquake struck 29 kilometers southeast of Kassos island on Monday, June 29, 2026, at 10:27 pm local time (GMT +3). Kassos is a small island located south of Rhodes, near the eastern edge of the Aegean Sea, and is part of the Dodecanese island chain rather than Crete itself. Earthquakes of this magnitude are common in the region and are generally felt but rarely cause damage. No injuries or structural damage have been reported. Visitors traveling in eastern Crete or nearby islands may have felt a brief tremor. No tsunami warning was issued. Tourists can continue their activities as normal. The eastern Mediterranean is a seismically active zone, so minor earthquakes of this scale are not unusual and do not typically pose a safety risk to travelers.
