The Greek electricity distribution operator (DEDDIE) has announced planned power outages across several areas of Crete on Sunday, May 10. These scheduled interruptions are typically carried out for maintenance and infrastructure work on the electrical grid. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary loss of electricity, which could impact air conditioning, charging devices, and some hotel or accommodation services. If you are visiting Crete on Sunday, it is advisable to check with your accommodation provider about whether your area is affected and the expected duration of any outage. Carrying a portable charger and having cash on hand is recommended, as ATMs and card payment terminals may be temporarily unavailable in affected zones. Outages of this type are generally planned well in advance and resolved within a few hours.
