Planned power outages are scheduled for Thursday, June 11 across several areas of Crete due to maintenance work by DEDDIE, the Greek electricity distribution network operator. The affected areas include parts of the Heraklion region. Tourists staying in or traveling through these zones may experience temporary disruptions to electricity, which could affect air conditioning, charging facilities, elevators, and some businesses. If you are in an affected area, it is advisable to charge devices in advance, carry cash in case card payment systems go offline, and check with your accommodation for the expected duration of the outage. Most scheduled outages are completed within a few hours. Local businesses and hotels are typically notified in advance and may have backup power arrangements in place.
