Opening Hours of Gastronomy and Retail

Many islanders go on a long vacation in the winter, visit relatives, are on the mainland and do various errands - all things that are often put on the back burner in a long season. In addition, there are few vacationers on the island in the winter (totally unjustly, in our opinion!) and the few islanders present simply do not make so much turnover that it is worthwhile for all businesses to stay open over the winter. In many rooms renovation is going on, because after all, on the island you are only allowed to do that in the fall and winter.

So it happens that many stores and restaurants offer only limited opening hours. But don't worry: the supermarkets are open, you'll always find a great place to eat, the stores are still open and you won't get bored on the most beautiful sandbank in the world!
