Planned power outages will affect several areas across Crete on Tuesday, June 2, as the local electricity network operator DEDDIE carries out scheduled maintenance, reinforcement, and grid upgrade works. These are routine interruptions and not caused by a fault or emergency. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary loss of electricity, which could impact air conditioning, hotel amenities, charging facilities, and some restaurants or shops. If you are planning activities that rely on electricity-dependent services, it is advisable to check with your accommodation about whether your area is affected and how long the outage is expected to last. Outages are typically announced with specific time windows, so ask your host or hotel reception for the exact schedule applicable to your location.
