Earthquake off the Coast of Crete

An earthquake measuring 5.3 magnitude has struck off the coast of Crete, just 64km from the town of Moíres.

The Greek island is a popular tourist destination at this time of year with resorts like Malia and Hersonnosis packed with holidaymakers from across Europe and beyond.

The earthquake was at a depth of 10 miles and struck at 11:29pm local time.

An earthquake near Kos killed 2 people earlier this month and caused damage on island in both Greece and Turkey.
