Cherries remain an expensive indulgence for Greek consumers this year, with prices staying exceptionally high in both street markets and fruit shops. Limited production combined with rising cultivation costs has kept prices at levels many shoppers now consider prohibitive.
For a third consecutive year, cherry prices have continued their upward trend, cementing the fruit’s status as one of the most expensive seasonal products on the market. In fruit shops, prices currently range from 9 euros to14 euros per kilo, while in some cases they climb as high as 16.99 euros per kilo.
The increase is particularly striking compared with previous years. In 2024, prices started at around 6 euros per kilo, while in 2025 they began at 8 euros. This year, the starting price has risen again, reflecting the sustained pressure on supply and production costs.
