Back to newsA minor earthquake measuring magnitude 2.7 was recorded near Crete, Greece, on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at 6:39 PM UTC (9:39 PM local time). The event is currently unconfirmed by official seismic agencies. Earthquakes of this magnitude are very common in the eastern Mediterranean and are generally not felt by most people. At this intensity level, there is no risk of structural damage, tsunamis, or disruption to infrastructure. Tourists visiting Crete do not need to take any special precautions. Transport, accommodation, and tourist sites are unaffected. Crete sits in one of Europe's most seismically active regions, so small tremors are a routine occurrence throughout the year. If you did feel a brief, light shaking, this is the likely cause, and no further action is required.
