Greece's electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has scheduled planned power outages across several areas of Crete on Monday, May 18, due to maintenance and network works. The affected regions include parts of Heraklion, though the full list of impacted areas may extend further across the island. Outages are temporary and linked to infrastructure upgrades rather than any emergency. Tourists staying in or planning to visit affected neighborhoods should expect potential disruptions to air conditioning, charging, and other electrical services during the works. It is advisable to check with your accommodation for specific timing and to keep devices charged in advance. Businesses such as restaurants and shops in affected zones may also operate with limited capacity during the outage window.
