The Greek electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has scheduled planned power outages across parts of Crete on Saturday, May 2. The affected areas include the Rethymno region, where maintenance and infrastructure works will require temporary interruptions to the electricity supply.
Tourists staying in or visiting the affected areas should be aware that outages may impact hotel amenities, air conditioning, charging facilities, and some restaurant or shop operations during the affected hours. It is advisable to charge devices in advance, carry cash as card payment terminals may be offline, and check with your accommodation for specific timing and any backup power arrangements.
Planned outages of this type are routine in Greece and typically last a few hours. DEDDIE generally restores power by the end of the scheduled window. Contact your hotel reception for the exact times relevant to your location.
