Back to newsSummer sales season has officially launched across Crete, with retailers in major towns including Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Agios Nikolaos opening discounted offerings on clothing, footwear, accessories, and household goods. The sales period, which runs through late August, offers visitors an opportunity to shop local boutiques and stores at reduced prices alongside their holiday activities. Merchants are optimistic the annual sales period will bring a welcome boost to local commerce, particularly as tourist footfall remains strong this season. Tourists exploring Crete's town centers can expect to find promotional signs in shop windows throughout the summer. Shopping hours in Greece typically run from 9:00 to 21:00 on weekdays, with reduced hours on Saturdays and most shops closed on Sundays, though tourist-area stores may keep extended hours.
