Planned power outages are scheduled across several areas of Crete today, Wednesday, May 27, as part of maintenance, reinforcement, and upgrade works carried out by DEDDIE, the Greek electricity distribution network operator. The outages are temporary and planned in advance, meaning they are expected to be restored within the working day. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience interruptions to air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and other electrical services during the outages. Hotels and larger accommodations typically have backup systems, but smaller rentals and villas may be affected. If you are planning activities that depend on electricity, such as cooking at a self-catering property or charging equipment, it is advisable to check with your host about the expected duration and whether your specific address is included in the affected zones.
