The Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (HEDNO) has announced scheduled power outages affecting several areas across Crete on Saturday, May 9. These planned interruptions are typically carried out for maintenance and infrastructure work on the electrical grid. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary loss of power, which could impact air conditioning, Wi-Fi, phone charging, and other electrically dependent amenities. If you are visiting Crete today, it is advisable to check with your accommodation provider about whether your area is affected and for how long outages are expected to last. Keeping devices charged in advance and carrying cash in case card payment terminals go offline is a practical precaution. Specific affected zones and outage windows are published on the HEDNO official website.
