Chania Hit by Scheduled Power Outages for Infrastructure Maintenance

Monday, 4 May 2026/CretaOne/1 
The Greek electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has scheduled planned power outages across parts of the Chania regional unit today, Monday, May 4. The interruptions are due to ongoing infrastructure maintenance works. Affected areas may experience temporary loss of electricity for several hours during the day. Tourists staying in impacted zones should expect possible disruptions to air conditioning, hot water, and charging facilities. Hotels and accommodations typically have backup generators, but smaller rentals and apartments may not. If you are planning activities that rely on electricity, such as cooking in a self-catering property, it is advisable to check with your host about the expected duration and timing of the outage for your specific area. For the full list of affected neighborhoods, consult the official DEDDIE website or ask your accommodation provider.
