Back to newsCrete's summer sales season has officially kicked off, with retailers across the island opening discounted shopping periods aimed at boosting consumer spending and reviving the local market. Merchants are expressing cautious optimism, hoping that the influx of summer tourists combined with reduced prices will drive stronger sales figures compared to recent seasons.
For visitors, this is a good opportunity to shop for local products, clothing, and goods at reduced prices. Sales are typically available in shops throughout major towns including Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Agios Nikolaos. Discounts generally run through late July and into August, though the best selection is found in the opening weeks.
If you plan to shop during your stay, visiting town-centre stores early in the sales period gives you the widest choice before popular items sell out.
