Planned power outages are scheduled across several areas of Crete on Wednesday, June 17, affecting parts of the regional units of Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Lasithi. These interruptions are organized by DEDDIE, the Greek electricity distribution network operator, and are carried out for maintenance and infrastructure work on the power grid. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary loss of electricity during the day, which could impact air conditioning, phone charging, and some hotel or accommodation services. If you are planning activities that depend on powered facilities, such as visiting certain restaurants, shops, or booking services, it is advisable to check with your accommodation in advance for the specific hours and streets affected. Outages of this type are typically completed within a few hours and normal service is restored by evening.
