Greece's summer sales season is underway, bringing mandatory price reductions across retail shops throughout the country, including Crete. New regulations require stores to clearly display both the original and discounted prices, with stricter enforcement this year to protect consumers. Shops in major Cretan towns such as Heraklion, Chania, and Rethymno are participating, offering discounts on clothing, footwear, and accessories. One Sunday during the sales period will also feature open stores, giving tourists an extra opportunity to shop. Visitors can expect genuine markdowns at local boutiques and chain retailers alike.
