You shouldn’t go to Kos exclusively for shopping. There are no outlets here, and shopping centers do not offer a very large assortment of brand clothes and shoes.

But still on Kos you should better buy products of the local manufacturers and the products that you won’t find anywhere else. When going shopping, keep in mind that most stores do not work on Sunday, and in the hot summer months from 1 p.m. till 5 p.m. almost everything is closed for siesta.

Most often, you can pay with the card only in the supermarkets. If you want to buy clothes and shoes from the Greek manufacturers, then go to the center of the capital. It is here, where all the shops … Read further
