Scheduled power outages are planned across several areas of Crete on Saturday, July 4, as announced by DEDDIE (the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator). These are planned maintenance interruptions, not emergency outages. The specific affected areas were listed in the official DEDDIE announcement but were not fully included in the source article. Tourists staying in or traveling through Crete on Saturday should be aware that temporary electricity cuts may affect accommodation, restaurants, and shops in certain zones. If you are in an area experiencing an outage, expect disruptions to air conditioning, electronic payments, and refrigerated food service. It is advisable to carry cash, keep devices charged in advance, and check with your hotel or accommodation host about whether your specific area is affected. Outages are typically scheduled during daytime hours and are restored within a few hours.
