Planned power outages are scheduled across several areas of Crete on Thursday, April 23, due to maintenance and infrastructure works carried out by DEDDIE, the Greek electricity distribution network operator. The affected areas include parts of Heraklion, though additional locations across the island may also experience interruptions. Outages of this type are typically scheduled during daytime hours and are temporary, lasting a few hours in each zone. Tourists staying in affected neighborhoods may experience disruptions to air conditioning, elevators, and electronic devices. It is advisable to charge phones and portable devices in advance, and to check with your accommodation for any backup power arrangements. Restaurants and shops in affected areas may also have limited service during the outage window. Local authorities and businesses are generally notified in advance by DEDDIE.
