The Greek electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has scheduled planned power outages across several areas of Crete on Tuesday, May 12. These temporary interruptions are typically carried out for maintenance or network upgrade work on the island's electrical grid. Affected areas have not been specified in detail, but outages of this type usually last a few hours during daytime. Tourists staying in impacted zones may experience brief disruptions to air conditioning, charging, and hotel services. If you are relying on refrigerated medication or medical equipment, contact your accommodation in advance to confirm backup power availability. Locals and businesses are generally notified ahead of time. Visitors planning day trips should be aware that some facilities in affected areas may operate with limited capacity during the outage window.
