Planned electricity outages are scheduled for Tuesday, June 16 across parts of Crete due to maintenance work by DEDDIE, the Greek power distribution network. The Heraklion region is among the affected areas. Outages of this type are routine infrastructure operations and are typically carried out during daytime hours. Tourists staying in affected neighborhoods may experience temporary disruptions to air conditioning, charging, and other electrical services. Hotels and larger accommodations generally have backup systems in place. If you are in a self-catering apartment or villa in the Heraklion area today, it is advisable to charge devices in advance, keep perishable food to a minimum, and check with your host for the expected duration of the interruption. Specific street-level details are available on the DEDDIE website or through local accommodation providers.
