A minor earthquake measuring 3.6 on the Richter scale struck Crete in the early hours of Saturday morning. Earthquakes of this magnitude are common in the region and typically cause no structural damage or injuries. Seismic activity is a normal part of life in Crete due to its location on an active tectonic fault zone. Tourists visiting the island should be aware that small tremors occur regularly but rarely pose any risk. No damage to infrastructure, tourist sites, or accommodation has been reported. Visitors already on the island or planning to travel to Crete can continue their plans as normal. If you feel a tremor during your stay, standard advice applies: stay calm, move away from windows, and follow guidance from local authorities if the shaking is prolonged.
