Store holiday hours and Sundays when shops will be open in Athens

Shopkeepers in Athens expect an increase in turnover during the holiday season

Time is counting down for holiday opening hours for stores ahead of Christmas and the New Year.

The Christmas Bonus and its payment is expected to be a financial “breather” for private sector workers, who plan to make some purchases at Christmas, taking advantage of the continuous festive opening hours.

Within December, the shops will also be open on two Sundays.

The first one precedes the holidays and is Sunday, December 11, and the second one will be the one immediately following, that is, Sunday, December 18, with the hours being 11:00 – 18:00.
