Shopping in Attica is extremely exciting; however, due to the peculiarity of the shopping hours in Greece, you may be faced with certain difficulties. On the first hand, throughout the country it is customary to take a long lunch break called a siesta; as a rule, all stores are closed from 2 pm to 5 pm.
