Back to newsA strong earthquake struck near the island of Karpathos, south of Crete, prompting authorities across Crete to raise their alert status. Civil protection services and local emergency teams have been placed on standby as a precautionary measure. Karpathos lies in the same seismically active region of the southern Aegean Sea as Crete. At the time of reporting, no significant damage or injuries had been confirmed on Crete itself. Tourists currently on the island should stay informed through official local channels and follow any guidance issued by their accommodation or local authorities. As a standard precaution after a significant regional earthquake, visitors near coastal areas should be aware of tsunami advisory protocols, though no such warning had been issued at the time of this report.
