Greece Launches 'PosoKanei' App to Compare Supermarket Prices

Greece has launched a new price transparency app called "PosoKanei" (meaning "How Much Does It Cost?"), announced by the Prime Minister at a government meeting. The app covers 9,000 supermarket product barcodes, allowing shoppers to compare prices across stores before buying. Alongside the supermarket tool, authorities are applying pressure on fuel retailers to lower prices at the pump. For tourists in Crete, this means greater price visibility when grocery shopping, which can be useful for self-catering visitors stocking up at local supermarkets. The app is available on smartphones and works across major Greek supermarket chains. While the app is currently in Greek, it may help budget-conscious travelers identify which stores offer better value. Fuel prices across the island may also ease in coming weeks if market pressure proves effective.
