The so-called “Easter Basket,” a measure imposing discounted prices on a series of products, went into effect on Monday and will last until the day before Easter, April 19.
It includes staples such as lamb and goat meat, tsoureki bread, chocolate eggs and other chocolate products. Development Minister Takis Theodorikakos described the measure as ‘a positive initiative that provides alternatives at better prices, which is why citizens are embracing it.”
He also clarified that, for this year, there is no need for a “Godparent’s Basket” as inflation in the relevant products is zero.
Extended shop opening hours will apply from Thursday ahead of the holiday. Shops will also be open on Sunday, April 13.
