Wednesday, 8 July 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

Planned power outages are scheduled across several districts of Crete on Thursday, July 9. The cuts are part of routine maintenance work carried out by the local electricity network operator. Specific areas and time windows vary by municipality, so tourists staying in affected zones may experience temporary loss of electricity during the day. If you are in a hotel or rental property, check with your host about backup power arrangements. Avoid scheduling activities that depend on air conditioning, charging devices, or refrigeration during the outage windows. Restaurants and shops in affected areas may also operate with limited capacity. Local authorities typically publish the exact neighborhoods and hours in advance, so check with your accommodation or the DEDDIE website for the full list of affected zones before Thursday morning.
