Back to newsCrete's summer sales season is getting underway, with discounts expected across shops and markets island-wide. Greek summer sales (θερινές εκπτώσεις) traditionally begin in mid-July and run through August, offering reductions on clothing, footwear, accessories, and household goods. Local merchants are anticipating strong turnover driven by the high volume of tourists currently on the island. Visitors can find the best deals in city centers such as Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Agios Nikolaos, where pedestrian shopping streets concentrate most retail activity. Discounts typically range from 20% to 50%, with deeper cuts appearing later in August as the season winds down. If you plan to shop, weekday mornings tend to be less crowded than weekends.
