Greece's electricity distribution operator (HEDNO/DEDDIE) has scheduled planned power outages across several areas of Crete on Monday, April 27. These interruptions are typically carried out for maintenance or infrastructure upgrade work on the electrical grid. Affected areas may experience disruptions to air conditioning, charging facilities, and other electrical services. Tourists staying in the impacted zones should expect temporary outages during the day and are advised to charge devices in advance, carry cash in case card payment systems go offline, and check with their accommodation for specific timing and areas affected. Local businesses including restaurants and shops may also be temporarily impacted. Power is generally restored once scheduled maintenance work is completed.
