Greece's summer sales season begins on Monday, July 13, 2026, and runs through August 31, 2026. Shops across Crete will participate, offering discounts on clothing, footwear, accessories, and household goods throughout the period. Tourists visiting the island during July and August can take advantage of these markdowns in city centers such as Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Agios Nikolaos. Notably, certain Sundays during the sales period will see shops open, giving visitors extra opportunities to browse and buy. Shopping hours during sales seasons in Greece typically follow extended retail schedules. If you are planning a visit to Crete this summer, the sales period coincides with peak tourist season, so popular shops in town centers can get busy, especially on weekends. Arriving early in the morning is advisable to beat both the crowds and the midday heat.
