Greece's electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has announced scheduled power outages affecting several areas of Crete on Friday, May 22. These are planned interruptions, typically carried out for maintenance or infrastructure work on the local grid. Tourists staying in or traveling through affected areas may experience temporary loss of electricity, which can impact air conditioning, phone charging, and internet access. If your accommodation loses power, it is likely a scheduled cut rather than a fault. Keep devices charged in advance and carry a portable power bank. Restaurants and shops in affected zones may also be temporarily closed or limited in service. Check with your hotel reception for specific timing in your area, as outages are usually scheduled for daytime hours and restored by evening.
