Planned power outages are scheduled across parts of Crete today, Monday, April 27, due to maintenance works by DEDDIE, the national electricity distribution operator. The affected areas include neighborhoods in and around Heraklion, though the full list of locations extends to other regions of the island. Outages are temporary and linked to scheduled infrastructure work rather than any emergency. Tourists staying in the affected areas may experience brief interruptions to electricity, which could affect air conditioning, elevators, and charging facilities at accommodations. If you are planning activities that depend on power availability, check with your hotel or accommodation provider for the specific timing and duration of any outage in your area. Outages of this type are routine and typically last a few hours during daytime.
