Crete Faces Scheduled Power Outages Monday for Grid Work

Monday, 29 June 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

Scheduled power outages are planned for Monday, June 29 across several areas of Crete, according to an announcement by HEDNO (the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator). The interruptions are due to maintenance work on the electrical grid. Tourists staying in or traveling through affected areas may experience temporary loss of electricity, which could impact air conditioning, charging, and hotel services. If you are in Crete today, check with your accommodation for details specific to your location, as outages are typically limited to specific zones and time windows. Businesses such as restaurants, shops, and smaller hotels without backup generators may have limited services during the outage period. Carrying a portable charger and having offline maps downloaded is advisable. HEDNO generally restores power once maintenance is complete, so disruptions are expected to be temporary.
