Crete Power Outages Thursday: Maintenance Work Affects Multiple Regions

Thursday, 25 June 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

Planned power outages are scheduled for Thursday, June 25 across several areas of Crete, affecting regions in Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Lasithi prefectures. These are maintenance-related interruptions organized by the electricity provider, not emergency failures. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary loss of air conditioning, hot water, Wi-Fi, and elevator access. Outages typically last a few hours during daytime. If your accommodation loses power, refrigerated food and drinks should be consumed or stored promptly. Practical steps: check with your hotel or host for the specific outage window in your area, charge devices in advance, and carry cash as card terminals may be offline. Restaurants and shops in affected zones may also close temporarily. The outages are localized, so nearby areas will remain unaffected.
