So far, there have been no official reports about any damages or casualties, caused by the tremor.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, a 6.3-magnitude quake was registered on Tuesday, 120 kilometres from the city of Heraklion, Greece.
The region lies in a seismologically active region as the Mediterranean Sea is a border between the African and Eurasian plates. As a result, Greece, Turkey, and other countries experience frequent tremors: a year ago, a powerful quake in the Aegean Sea claimed at least 27 lives and injured around 800 people.
