The Greek electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has scheduled planned power outages across several areas of Crete today, Tuesday, May 12. These cuts are taking place to allow maintenance and infrastructure work on the electricity network. Affected areas include parts of Heraklion, along with other regions across the island. The outages are temporary and scheduled in advance, meaning power is expected to be restored once the work is completed.
Tourists staying in affected areas may experience interruptions to air conditioning, charging facilities, and other electrical services during the outage windows. If you are staying in a hotel or villa in Heraklion or nearby areas, check with your accommodation for the expected duration of any disruption. Carrying a portable charger and planning outdoor activities during the outage period is a practical way to minimize inconvenience.
