Planned electricity outages will affect parts of Crete on Sunday, May 10, due to maintenance work by DEDDIE, the Greek electricity distribution network. The confirmed affected area is the Municipality of Hersonissos in the Heraklion regional unit. Specific hours of interruption were listed in the original announcement but were not fully provided here. Tourists staying in Hersonissos, a popular resort area on the north coast, should expect temporary power cuts during the day. It is advisable to charge devices in advance, check with your accommodation for backup power arrangements, and avoid scheduling activities that depend on electricity during the affected hours. Restaurants and shops in the area may also experience disruptions. DEDDIE typically restores power once scheduled maintenance is complete, and outages of this type are usually resolved within a few hours.
