The Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (DEDDIE) has announced scheduled power outages affecting several areas of Crete on Thursday, May 28. These interruptions are planned maintenance cuts, meaning electricity will be temporarily unavailable in affected zones for a period during the day. The specific municipalities and time windows are published by DEDDIE in advance to allow residents and businesses to prepare. For tourists, this may affect accommodation with electric appliances, air conditioning, or charging facilities. If your hotel or rental property is in an affected area, expect possible disruptions to elevators, Wi-Fi, and kitchen equipment. It is advisable to charge devices in advance, carry cash as card payment terminals may be offline, and confirm with your accommodation whether backup power is available. Outages are typically resolved within a few hours.
