Planned electricity outages are scheduled for Thursday, June 18 across several areas of Crete due to maintenance work by DEDDIE, the Greek power distribution operator. The affected areas include parts of the Heraklion region. Outages are temporary and linked to infrastructure works rather than any emergency. Tourists staying in or traveling through affected neighborhoods may experience brief power interruptions during the day. If you are relying on air conditioning, charging devices, or electric appliances, plan accordingly and check with your accommodation for expected outage windows. Most hotels and larger establishments have backup generators, so disruption should be minimal. Local businesses may have limited services during the affected hours. The outages are expected to be resolved within the working day.
