Summer sales in Crete begin on Monday, July 13, 2026, as announced by the Heraklion Commerce Association. The sales period covers shops and retail stores across the island, with Heraklion city center being the main hub for discounted goods. Visitors can expect reductions on clothing, footwear, accessories, and household items throughout the sales season, which typically runs for several weeks. This is a good opportunity for tourists to pick up Greek-made products, beachwear, and souvenirs at lower prices. Most shops in Heraklion open from around 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM during the summer period, though hours vary by store. Smaller towns across Crete, including Chania and Rethymno, also participate in the national sales period under the same schedule.
