Greece's summer sales season is now underway, offering tourists visiting Crete an opportunity to shop at reduced prices across retail stores. Vasilis Korkidis, president of the Piraeus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, describes the summer discount period as both a key indicator of consumer confidence and a boost for the broader retail market.
