A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck off Crete and resulted in tsunami warnings and some damage, but experts affirm this is typical seismic activity for Greece. Despite previous earthquakes, particularly near Santorini, the risks have not significantly increased. Authorities urge tourists to be aware of safety measures during earthquakes, emphasizing that while the earthquake itself poses little direct threat, falling debris can be dangerous. Seismic experts recommend avoiding harbors and beaches during tremors due to potential sea level rises and whirlpools.
"The hazards are not significantly higher than they were yesterday, or in February."
"Typically, for magnitude 6, you do not expect a large tsunami. For this level, what is advised is not to go into harbours..."
