Planned power outages will affect parts of Chania province on Tuesday, May 5, as DEDDIE (Greece's electricity distribution network operator) carries out scheduled maintenance and network upgrade works. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary interruptions to electricity supply throughout the day. If you are in the Chania region, it is advisable to charge devices in advance, note that air conditioning, lifts, and some hotel facilities may be temporarily unavailable, and check with your accommodation for specific timing. Restaurants and shops in affected neighborhoods may also face disruptions. DEDDIE typically notifies affected municipalities in advance, so local businesses and accommodation providers should have details on the exact outage windows. The works are routine infrastructure improvements and power is expected to be restored once maintenance is completed.
