Back to newsPlanned power outages are scheduled for Friday, April 17 across several areas in the Heraklion and Rethymno regional units of Crete. These are scheduled maintenance interruptions carried out by the Greek electricity network operator (HEDNO/DEDDIE), typically lasting a few hours during daytime. Affected areas may experience disruptions to air conditioning, charging, and internet service during the outage windows.
Tourists staying in the affected zones should expect temporary loss of power and plan accordingly: charge devices in advance, carry cash as card terminals may be offline, and check with your accommodation for specific timing. Restaurants and shops in affected neighborhoods may operate with limited services. The outages are routine and localized, not island-wide. If you are unsure whether your area is affected, ask your hotel reception for the specific schedule applicable to your location.
