Planned power outages are scheduled across various areas of Crete on Sunday, May 24, as the Greek electricity network operator DEDDIE carries out maintenance and infrastructure upgrades. The interruptions are temporary and part of routine improvement works to the distribution network. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience disruptions to air conditioning, charging facilities, and other electrical services during the outage windows. Hotels and accommodations typically have backup systems for essential services, but it is advisable to charge devices in advance and plan accordingly. If you are staying in a villa or independent rental, confirm with your host whether a generator is available. Specific neighborhoods and villages affected are listed in the official DEDDIE announcement. Outages are generally completed within a few hours. Normal power supply is expected to resume the same day once works are finished.
