Just 21 minutes ago, a 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck near Chania, Crete, Greece. The tremor was recorded early afternoon on Monday, August 18th, 2025, at 3:11 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 5.50 km below the surface.
The event was filed by the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.2. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Seismological Survey of Serbia (SSS) at magnitude 4.3, the Kandilli Oservatory and Earthquake Research Institute in Istanbul (KOERI-RETMC) at magnitude 4.2, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 4.2, The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 4.1, The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 4.0, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.2.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Limeniskos (pop. 40) located 11 km from the epicenter, Kissamos (pop. 4,200) 19 km away, and Palaiochora (pop. 2,400) 34 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake
