Sunday, 31 May 2026/Source: Flashnews/1 min read

Planned electricity outages are scheduled across Crete next week, affecting all four regional units: Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion, and Lasithi. These are routine maintenance cuts carried out by the Greek electricity network operator (DEDDIE) and are not related to any emergency or infrastructure failure. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary power interruptions during the scheduled windows. Hotels and larger accommodations typically have backup generators, but smaller rentals, villas, and apartments may be without power for several hours. It is advisable to check with your accommodation host for the specific outage schedule in your area, keep devices charged in advance, and note that some shops, restaurants, and ATMs may be affected during the cuts. Local authorities publish the exact times and neighborhoods affected on the DEDDIE website, allowing residents and visitors to plan accordingly.
