Planned power outages are scheduled for Tuesday, May 12 in several areas of the Chania regional unit in western Crete. The interruptions are being carried out by HEDNO (the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator) as part of scheduled maintenance, reinforcement, and upgrade works on the local electricity grid. Specific neighborhoods and villages affected were not fully listed in the available announcement, so travelers staying in the Chania area should check with their accommodation hosts for precise timing and whether their location is impacted. Outages of this type are typically planned for daytime hours and are temporary. Tourists are advised to charge devices in advance, keep cash on hand as card terminals may be unavailable during the outage, and confirm with hotels or rental properties whether backup power is provided.
