Detailed post from Gerasimos Papadopoulos
A short while ago, a 5.2 magnitude earthquake occurred near Gavdos, in the sea area approximately 45 km south of Sfakia. It is too early to determine if this is the main shock. This requires more analysis to answer. In any case, the earthquake happened at a significant distance from Crete. We await news from Gavdos, which is close to the epicenter.
According to data from the National Observatory of Athens, two more earthquakes of magnitudes 3.0 and 3.1 occurred at 19:46 and 19:47, respectively.
