**Greek Candle Imports Rise Amid Summer Demand**
**Greece’s candle imports surge as tourism heats up, pushing demand for home decor items.**
• Greek candle imports rose by 12% in June compared to the same period last year.
• The increase is attributed to a growing tourism industry and higher summer spending on home decor items.
• Average import prices for candles and similar products remained steady at €1.50 per unit.
Greek candle imports have picked up this summer, driven by increased demand from tourists looking to stock up on home decor items before returning to their countries of origin. As the peak tourist season extends into July and August, market analysts expect Greek candle imports to continue their upward trend.
