Earthquake in Crete

Cannot get too much new info. on the news in US today about the earthquake off the coast of Crete where I am scheduled to go to in 3 weeks. There was a tsunami warning after the fact and Samaria Gorge closed with people advised to get off the coast Anyone hear if the tsunami warning has been lifted or if there have been aftershocks? Thanks!

Don't worry so much about earthquakes, they happen all the time in Greece, I was not far from the epicenter of the one on May 14th that concerns you (magnitude 6). We received an alert on our phones, but there was no damage, no tsunami, a few car alarms went on but that's it.

It's business as usual here.

It’s the country with the highest amount of tectonic plate movement and earthquake. this happens all the time. The tsunami warning was just a precautionary measure, nothing to worry about. Minor damage reported but nothing to worry about either. You’ll be fine. We’ll be in Rhodes in June. I’m not worried.
