DEDDIE, the Greek electricity distribution operator, has announced scheduled power outages affecting several areas across Crete on Sunday, May 17. These planned interruptions are typically carried out for maintenance and infrastructure work on the electrical grid. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary loss of power, which could impact air conditioning, device charging, hotel amenities, and any accommodation that relies on electric appliances. If you are visiting Crete on Sunday, it is advisable to check with your hotel or rental host about whether your area is affected and for how long. Carrying a portable charger and planning outdoor activities during the outage window can help minimize disruption. Local businesses such as restaurants and shops may also be temporarily closed or operating with limited services.
