Planned power outages are scheduled for Friday, April 24 in areas across the Heraklion regional unit, according to an announcement from DEDDIE (the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator). These are routine maintenance interruptions affecting specific neighborhoods and villages throughout the prefecture.
If you are staying in or traveling through the Heraklion area today, expect temporary loss of electricity in some locations. Outages of this type typically last a few hours and are carried out during daytime to minimize disruption. Accommodation providers are generally notified in advance.
Practical advice: charge your devices and power banks before heading out, and confirm with your hotel or rental host whether your area is affected. Restaurants and shops in affected zones may have limited service. Check the DEDDIE website for the specific affected localities and scheduled time windows.
