Stores in Greece can open this Sunday

Retail stores throughout the country will be permitted to open this Sunday, November 6, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., according to an amendment submitted to Parliament on Tuesday in a bill by the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection.

Opening is optional and not mandatory.

The regulation comes after the abolition of the midseason sales, during which shops were allowed to open on the first Sunday of November.

This is a transitional arrangement until the implementation of a new framework for the optional opening of shops on Sundays, which will be posted for a period of public consultation.
