A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck the Lasithi region of eastern Crete, followed by a 4.8 magnitude aftershock. The seismic sequence has seismologists monitoring the area closely, as aftershocks continue to occur. Lasithi is home to popular tourist destinations including the Lasithi Plateau, the Dikteon Cave (birthplace of Zeus), and the town of Agios Nikolaos. No significant structural damage or casualties have been officially reported at this stage. Earthquakes are common in Crete due to its location on active fault lines, and most pass without serious consequence. Tourists in the area should stay informed through local authorities, avoid older or visibly damaged structures, and follow any guidance issued by hotel staff. Check with local services before visiting hilltop or cave sites in the Lasithi area until the aftershock activity settles.
