Greece's electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has scheduled planned power outages across several areas of Crete today, Wednesday May 13. These are routine maintenance interruptions carried out by the national grid operator and are temporary in nature. Tourists should be aware that certain neighborhoods or villages may experience brief loss of electricity during the day, which could affect air conditioning, charging devices, and some hotel or restaurant services. If you are staying in a self-catering property, note that refrigeration and cooking appliances will be temporarily unavailable in affected zones. It is advisable to charge devices in advance, carry cash as card terminals may be offline, and check with your accommodation for the specific schedule affecting your area. Power is typically restored within a few hours once maintenance work is completed.
