Back to newsA minor earthquake of magnitude 2.7 struck approximately 21 kilometers south-southwest of Goudouras, a small coastal village on the southeastern tip of Crete, early Wednesday morning, July 8, 2026, at 3:24 am local time (GMT +3). At this magnitude, the tremor was too weak to cause structural damage and was unlikely to have been felt by most residents or visitors. Goudouras is a remote area of the Lasithi regional unit, far from major tourist centers such as Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, or Ierapetra. No impact on travel, accommodations, or tourist sites is expected. Visitors to Crete do not need to take any precautions related to this event.
