Planned power outages are scheduled across several areas of Crete on Sunday, May 3, according to an announcement by DEDDIE, the Greek electricity distribution network operator. The outages are part of routine maintenance work on the electrical grid. Specific neighborhoods and villages will lose power for several hours during the day, though exact times vary by location. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary disruptions to air conditioning, hot water, and other electrical services. Hotels and accommodations with backup generators should be largely unaffected. Visitors are advised to check with their accommodation about potential impacts, charge devices in advance, and carry cash in case electronic payment systems are temporarily unavailable. The outages are expected to be resolved within the scheduled windows.
