The electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has announced planned power outages in the Chania region of Crete, starting Sunday. The interruptions are scheduled to allow crews to carry out necessary technical maintenance work on the local electricity network. Specific neighborhoods and time windows were not fully detailed in the announcement, but outages of this type typically last several hours during daytime. Tourists staying in affected areas should expect temporary disruptions to air conditioning, elevators, and charging facilities. Hotels and larger accommodations usually have backup generators, but smaller rentals and apartments may not. If you are staying in the Chania area this weekend, it is advisable to charge devices in advance, keep cash on hand as card terminals may be affected, and check with your accommodation for any generator backup. Updates can be found through the DEDDIE official website.
