DEDDIE, the Greek electricity distribution network operator, has scheduled planned power outages across parts of Crete today, Monday, June 15. The interruptions are taking place due to maintenance and infrastructure works on the electrical grid. The Heraklion region is among the areas affected. Outages of this kind are typically carried out during daytime hours and last several hours in specific neighborhoods or rural zones. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary loss of power to accommodation, restaurants, and shops. It is advisable to charge devices in advance, carry cash in case card terminals go offline, and check with your hotel reception for the expected duration of any outage in your specific location. Air conditioning and refrigeration will be unavailable during the interruption, so plan accordingly if traveling during peak heat hours.
