Planned power outages will affect several areas across Crete on Tuesday, May 26, as the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (DEDDIE) carries out scheduled maintenance, reinforcement, and infrastructure upgrade work on the local grid. These are planned interruptions, not emergency failures, and power is expected to be restored once work is completed. Tourists staying in affected areas should expect temporary loss of electricity during the day, which may impact air conditioning, charging devices, and hotel amenities. If you are in a rental property or hotel, check with your host or front desk about the expected duration of any outage in your specific area. Carrying a portable charger and keeping devices topped up the night before is advisable. Full details on affected zones are available through DEDDIE's official announcements.
