The Greek electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has scheduled planned power outages this Sunday in two of Crete's major cities: Heraklion and Chania. These are routine maintenance cuts, not emergency disruptions. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary loss of electricity, which could impact air conditioning, elevators, and electronic payments at some businesses. If you are visiting Heraklion or Chania on Sunday, carry some cash as card terminals may be offline in certain locations. Hotels typically have backup generators for essential services. Check with your accommodation for specific outage times in your neighborhood, as cuts are usually scheduled in specific zones for limited windows during the day.
