Parts of Crete will experience scheduled power outages on Thursday, June 18, as DEDDIE (the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator) carries out planned maintenance and infrastructure work. Specific areas will be without electricity for set time windows throughout the day. While the full list of affected zones was not detailed in the excerpt, outages of this type typically cover neighborhoods in towns or rural villages and last several hours. Tourists staying in self-catering accommodation, villas, or smaller guesthouses in affected areas should be aware that air conditioning, refrigeration, and charging may be temporarily unavailable. Larger hotels generally have backup generators. If you are planning to cook at your accommodation or rely on powered equipment, check with your host or local rental office to confirm whether your area is on the outage schedule for that day.
