Planned power outages will affect several areas across Crete on Sunday, May 31. The cuts are scheduled in parts of Heraklion, Chania, and other regional units, with specific neighborhoods losing electricity for several hours during the day. These outages are typically carried out by the grid operator DEDDIE for maintenance or infrastructure work. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience disruptions to air conditioning, elevators, and hotel services. If you are planning to visit a restaurant, shop, or attraction in these zones, check ahead as some businesses may adjust their hours or close temporarily. Charging devices, carrying cash instead of relying on card machines, and downloading offline maps before the outage window are practical steps to minimize inconvenience. Local accommodation staff can confirm whether your specific area is affected.
