About these dates

A public holiday does not always close every business. Essential services, shops and some industries keep working, and pay rules differ by country and contract.

Dates come from the open-source python-holidays project (0.106, MIT licence), which follows each country’s laws and official calendars; NonWorkingDays built these tables from it on October 15, 2026. Names are shown as the source gives them, in the local language and in English, without machine translation.

Dates marked “estimated” follow lunar or religious calendars and can move by a day when they are announced. Days off decreed at short notice, such as bridge days, may be missing. Check with an official source before you book.

Long weekends count the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and nationwide public holidays only. “When” counts days by the local date in Athens.

! Checked against KEPEA/GSEE: Argies - Exairesimes imeres (summarises Laws 4808/2021 art. 60, 4554/2018 art. 42, 4468/2017 art. 14) on October 16, 2026, with caveats: The 9 days Greek law makes mandatory for private employers match the data; Clean Monday, Good Friday and Whit Monday are not on that statutory list, and the 2027 Labour Day move to 4 May is not yet officially announced.
