Planned power outages are scheduled across several areas of Crete today, Wednesday, July 8, due to maintenance and infrastructure works carried out by DEDDIE, the Greek electricity distribution network operator. These are routine, pre-announced interruptions and are not related to any emergency or fault on the grid. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary loss of power, which could impact air conditioning, charging devices, and some hotel or accommodation services. It is advisable to check with your accommodation provider to confirm whether your area is affected and how long the outage is expected to last. Most outages are planned for daytime hours and are typically resolved within a few hours. Keeping water and a charged power bank on hand is a practical precaution during the summer period when such works are common across the island.
