Contexto cultural
The 'mesimeri' (afternoon break) is sacred. Between 2 PM and 5 PM, many local shops will not be 'ανοιχτά'. In tourist areas during summer, shops may stay 'ανοιχτά' from 9 AM until midnight without a break. On major holidays like Easter or August 15th, it is almost impossible to find anything 'ανοιχτό' except for some cafes. The 'periptero' (kiosk) is the only place that is almost always 'ανοιχτό', often 24/7 in big cities.
