The Greek electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has scheduled planned power outages across several areas of Crete on Thursday, April 30. These are routine maintenance cuts carried out by the network operator to service infrastructure and improve reliability. Affected areas have not been specified in detail, but outages of this type typically last several hours and are announced in advance. Tourists should be aware that accommodations, restaurants, and shops in affected neighborhoods may experience temporary loss of power during this period. If you are staying in a potentially affected area, check with your hotel or host for specific timing. Keep devices charged in advance, and note that ATMs and card payment terminals may be temporarily unavailable. Local businesses usually have contingency plans for scheduled cuts.
