   no, it is locally generated on 3 power stations:Xylokamara in Chania,   
   all gas turbines and all diesel oil so VERY expensive.700 grams of   
   diesel for 1kWh.Combined cycle gas turbine a bit better efficiency.The   
   new Atherinolakkos in Lasithi, 2-stroke diesels 2 * 50 MW (75,000 HP)   
   and 2 steam units also 2 * 50 MW.Mazut all of them, steam 300 grams/kWh   
   and 2-stroke diesels 100 grams/kWh (these are very similar to marine   
   diesels), and the aforementioned Linopermata power station. There is a   
   plan of connecting Israel to Cyprus, Cyprus to Crete and Crete to   
   mainland Greece. 1 700 MW 400 kV DC underwater cable, and one 380 MW 150   
   kV AC.We'll see. They're going to decomission the Linoperamata PS which   
   is very near to Iraklion, also the Xylokamara, and probably leave only   
   Atherinolakkos as a cold reserve. The first 2 are crappy unefficient   
   stone age units, anyway.
