Crete's power distributor has scheduled multiple electricity outages across various areas of the island throughout the coming week. These planned interruptions are for maintenance work on the electrical grid. Affected zones span several regions of Crete, though specific neighborhoods and villages vary by day. Outages are typically carried out during daytime hours. Tourists staying in the affected areas may experience temporary loss of power, which could impact air conditioning, charging devices, and some hotel or accommodation services. If you are renting a villa or apartment, check with your host whether your area is scheduled for an outage. Most hotels have backup generators. It is advisable to keep devices charged in advance and download any offline maps or guides you may need before an outage occurs in your area.
