Winter 2026 Sales In Greece
The 2026 winter sales in Greece are due to begin on Monday 12 January. The sales period will end on Saturday 28 February.
Commercial stores all around Greece will be open on Sunday 18 January and Sunday 25 January, from 11:00 to 18:00. Shops in the larger cities, like Athens or Thessaloniki, are predicted to be busy.
These are two of the few Sundays throughout the year that stores remain open in Greece. This does not include supermarkets, which will remain closed on that day.
This will be a good opportunity to visit clothes / shoes stores and shopping malls, and buy items on a discount.
Here are my full guides to shopping in Athens and to souvenirs in Greece.
Sales in Greece: What to pay attention to
Customers are advised to do their research, both offline and online, and doublecheck the item’s original price and sales price.
Buyers should always check the quality of the products they are interested in, as well as the terms and conditions of their purchase.
Most stores in Greece do not issue refunds. In addition, a No Return policy might apply for certain sales items.
Make sure you always ask for your receipt, in case you want to return or exchange a faulty item.
