6Watch Out for Siesta Time

Many shops, particularly in smaller towns, close during the afternoon for siesta. This usually happens between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM, so plan accordingly if you need to do some shopping or run errands.

Larger cities like Athens or Thessaloniki tend to keep their stores open throughout the day, but the relaxed rhythm of smaller towns might throw you off if you’re not prepared. This is also a good time to enjoy a leisurely lunch or relax before continuing your sightseeing.
