The Greek electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has scheduled planned power outages across several areas of Crete today, Tuesday, June 9. The interruptions are due to maintenance and infrastructure works. Heraklion is among the affected regions. Outages are temporary and carried out during daytime hours to minimize disruption. Tourists staying in affected neighborhoods may experience loss of air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and charging facilities for a period during the day. If you are staying in Heraklion or surrounding areas, consider charging devices in advance, carrying cash as card terminals may be offline, and checking with your accommodation for the expected duration of the outage in your specific location. Restaurants and shops may also be affected. The works are routine and power is expected to be restored once the scheduled maintenance is complete.
