Stores in Greece open on Sunday 11:00-18:00, depending on owners' decisionNielsenIQ data found that supermarkets closed in 2024 with a 3.6% growth and total sales of 14.8 billion euros

Stores will be open on Sunday for winter sales, on a suggested schedule of 11:00-18:00, although owners have a choice to remain closed as well, ANA reports.

Supermarkets will not be open in general.

As Piraeus Chamber of Commerce & Industry president Vassilis Korkidis told Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA-MPA), "All indications show that despite the economic fatigue of the holiday season, the winter sales will fulfill expectations of store owners and consumers, and transactions will move at a much better rate than last year - the aim being that turnover in retail for January-February 2025 exceeds the 6 billion euro total of last year's period."
Korkidis said the expectation is realistic, given that there was a 6.4% rise in private sector wages and a drop of 9% in unemployment, showing less pressure on family budgets.
