DEDDIE (Greece's electricity distribution network operator) is carrying out scheduled maintenance, reinforcement, and upgrade work on power infrastructure across several areas of Crete today, Wednesday, June 3. As a result, planned power outages are affecting parts of the island throughout the day. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary interruptions to electricity, which could impact air conditioning, charging facilities, and some hotel or accommodation services. If you are planning activities that depend on powered equipment or refrigerated food and drinks, it is worth checking with your accommodation whether your area is affected. Power cuts of this kind are routine and typically last a few hours. DEDDIE publishes the specific affected zones on its official website. If you experience an outage, your accommodation provider should be able to advise on the expected restoration time.
