Crete power outages Monday for electricity grid upgrades

Sunday, 26 April 2026/Google News/1 
Greece's electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has announced scheduled power outages across parts of Crete on Monday, April 27. These planned interruptions are carried out for maintenance and network upgrade work on the local electricity grid. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary loss of power, which could impact air conditioning, charging devices, hotel services, and restaurant operations. If you are visiting Crete today, it is advisable to charge your devices in advance, carry some cash in case card payment terminals go offline, and check with your accommodation for specific timing and affected zones. Scheduled outages typically last a few hours and are restored once maintenance work is complete. Local authorities publish affected street lists in advance through the DEDDIE website for those who need precise details.
