Delivery and shopping on Corfu

Summer and winter sales

Corfu follows the same national sales calendar as the rest of Greece. Winter sales run from the second Monday of January to the end of February, and summer sales from the second Monday of July to the end of August. That puts the next seasons at Monday 11 January to the end of February 2027 and Monday 12 July to Tuesday 31 August 2027. The mid season sales of May and November were abolished in 2022, so no official sales period is left in 2026, although Black Friday offers arrive on 27 November.

Sales shopping in Corfu Town is done on foot. The pedestrian streets of the Old Town, around Nikiforou Theotoki, Evgeniou Voulgareos, Guilford Street and Agiou Spyridonos, mix souvenir shops with Greek designers, jewellers, leather workshops, food shops and international brands. For fresh local produce, the town market sits below the New Fortress. We could not confirm a shopping mall or designer outlet on the island, so plan your sales day around the town centre.

Two rules are worth knowing. Every sale label must show the previous price, which is the lowest price of the last 30 days. And buying in the sales does not reduce your rights if an item turns out to be faulty. Swapping an item that is not faulty depends on each shop's own policy, so ask before you pay and keep the receipt.

Your rights in the sales

• During the sales every price cut must show the previous price beside the new one. The cut may also be shown as a percentage or a euro amount, and the previous price may be struck through. old2025.esee.gr, newsbomb.gr
• The previous price is the lowest price the shop charged in the 30 days before the cut. If the product has been on sale for less than 30 days, it is the lowest price since it went on sale. This is the EU Omnibus rule (Directive 2019/2161), now in Article 9i of Greek Law 2251/1994. old2025.esee.gr, esv.gr
• If a shop cuts a price in steps within 60 days, it may keep showing the price from before the first cut, but any price rise in between ends this. old2025.esee.gr
• The recommended retail price may not be used as the previous price. old2025.esee.gr
• Shops may not charge extra for paying by card. old2025.esee.gr, consilium.europa.eu
• Buying in the sales does not reduce your rights if an item is faulty: you can ask for repair, replacement, a price reduction or a refund, depending on the case. The EU legal guarantee lasts at least two years, and for a fault that appears within a year of delivery the seller must prove it was not there at delivery. workenter.gr, cnn.gr, europa.eu
• Exchanging or refunding an item that is not faulty is the shop's own policy, not a legal duty. The shop should tell you its policy before you pay, so ask first and keep the receipt. workenter.gr, cnn.gr, europe-consommateurs.eu
• Online and phone purchases from a business come with 14 days to change your mind, counted from delivery, with exceptions such as personalised goods. A purchase made in a shop is in principle final. europa.eu, europe-consommateurs.eu, synigoroskatanaloti.gr
• To complain, call the Ministry of Development consumer line 1520, email 1520@mindev.gov.gr or use the online complaint form of the General Secretariat of Commerce. The line answers daily from 08:00 to 22:00 (search engine copy, not confirmed on the Ministry site). kataggelies.mindev.gov.gr, e-kyklades.gr
• The Consumer Ombudsman, an independent authority, also takes consumer complaints through its official website. For a problem with a seller in another EU country, the European Consumer Centre in your country can help. synigoroskatanaloti.gr, lawspot.gr, europa.eu

Black Friday, Cyber Monday and other shop promotions

• Black Friday 2026, Friday 27 November 2026. Not a legal sales period: shops run their own offers, and many start them earlier in November. Shops may open on Sunday 29 November 2026.
• Cyber Monday 2026, Monday 30 November 2026. Offers mainly online.
• Official warnings about fake discounts, . Before Black Friday 2025 the Consumer Ombudsman warned about discounts worked out from prices raised just beforehand, unclear product descriptions, hidden charges and delivery costs, late deliveries and untrustworthy websites. It advised shoppers to check the previous price and the price history, read the return terms, pay securely and not be rushed by short flash offers. ESEE reminded shops that the previous price for a Black Friday cut is the lowest price of the previous 30 days.

How to check a real discount

• Skroutz price history: A price history button on each product page shows how the price has moved, with a graph of the lowest and average price and the number of shops selling the item. The 2012 post that introduced it describes a four month graph.
• Skroutz price alert: You set the price you want and Skroutz lets you know when the item reaches it.
• Skroutz deals page: Lists products with price drop labels; sponsored entries carry an Ad label.
• BestPrice deal checks: BestPrice compares each price with the lowest stable price of the last three months and with every shop selling the same product. It ignores very short drops and price errors, leaves out products without enough history, and shows a deal badge for 30 days at most. Its strictest badge, Black deals, marks a new lowest price. The struck through price is BestPrice's own reference price, not the shop's claim, shops cannot buy a badge, and one click opens the price history graph.
• BestPrice deals page: Deals of the day picked by the BestPrice team, with price history graphs.
• e-shop.gr Crazy Sundays: Shows the lowest price of the previous 30 days next to each deal.
