Scheduled Power Outages Hit Chania Monday for Maintenance

Sunday, 10 May 2026/CretaOne/1 
Planned power outages are scheduled for Monday, May 11 in parts of the Chania regional unit, according to an announcement from DEDDIE (the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator). These are scheduled maintenance cuts, meaning affected areas will experience temporary loss of electricity during the day. If you are staying in or traveling through the Chania area on Monday, expect possible disruptions to air conditioning, hot water, and electronic services at accommodations, restaurants, or shops in the affected neighborhoods. It is advisable to charge devices in advance, confirm with your accommodation whether your area is impacted, and carry cash in case card payment terminals go offline. The outages are temporary and planned, not the result of damage or emergency. Check with your hotel or local authorities for the specific streets and estimated restoration times.
