The Greek electricity distribution operator HEDNO (DEDDIE) has announced scheduled power cuts affecting several areas of Crete on Friday, May 22. These are planned maintenance interruptions, meaning outages are temporary and intentional rather than caused by a fault. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience disruptions to air conditioning, charging devices, and hotel services during the outage windows. If you are relying on electric vehicle charging or medical equipment, plan accordingly. Specific affected villages and outage times are typically published on the HEDNO website. It is advisable to check with your accommodation provider for local details, keep devices charged in advance, and carry cash in case card payment terminals go offline during the interruption.
