Greece notice: The calendar contains the nine nationwide mandatory rest days for 2027. Clean Monday (Καθαρά Δευτέρα), Orthodox Good Friday and Holy Spirit Monday are not indiscriminately nationwide mandatory private-sector holidays. Government, bank, school, sector-specific and observance days are therefore not deducted by the working-day calculator without an applicable legal basis. Narrowly scoped local coverage: Only verified mandatory holidays are added: Holy Spirit Monday throughout Western Macedonia; 7 March in the former Dodecanese prefecture, limited to today's regional units of Kalymnos, Karpathos–Kasos, Kos and Rhodes; and 26 October in the Thessaloniki urban complex, precisely Ampelokipi–Menemeni, Kordelio–Evosmos, Kalamaria, Neapoli–Sykies and Pavlos Melas, the municipal units of Pylaia and Panorama but not Hortiatis, and the municipal units of Thessaloniki and Triandria. Further patronal and liberation holidays apply only inside the stated city or municipality boundaries: Kozani (11 October and 6 December), Ptolemaida (29 August and 15 October), Servia (7 July and 10 October), Siatista (26 October and 4 November), Grevena (15 May and 13 October), Deskati (21 May and 7 October), Florina (27 July and 8 November), Amyntaio (21 May and 6 November), Kastoria and Nestorio (11 November), Argos Orestiko (26 July and 11 November), Eleftheroupoli (6 December), the Rethymno urban area from Platanias to Koumbes (4 December), and the municipality of Aigialeia (26 January). The holiday table states the scope of every entry. This is a deliberately narrow subset, not a complete inventory of every Greek municipal holiday. Other local patronal or liberation days are not inferred from tradition alone. Weekend holidays do not receive an automatic Monday substitute. If 1 May falls on a Sunday, during Orthodox Holy Week or on Easter Monday, the Labour Ministry selects the substitute date by an annual decision; until it is published, the calendar shows the statutory nominal date.

Greece 2027: calendar analysis

This analysis is calculated from the holiday entries displayed on this page. It distinguishes unique dates, nationwide dates and regional scope instead of treating every stored row as a day off everywhere.

regional scopes

24 regional entries

The 33 stored holiday entries fall on 30 distinct dates. Several regional holidays can share a date, so counting table rows as universally free days would be misleading.

Nationwide dates: 9. Of these, 5 fall from Monday through Friday and 4 fall on a weekend. A weekday date still needs to be checked against the employment rules that apply to the individual case.

Regional entries: 24 across 16 stored scope codes. Select the actual state, canton, region or municipality before using them for leave or working-day planning.

October has the highest count with 8 displayed entries. This describes the stored calendar distribution, not an automatic entitlement to time off.

Understanding annual planning

Greece calendar 2027: plan public holidays precisely

This annual calendar contains 33 stored holiday entries across 30 distinct dates. 9 dates are marked nationwide; 5 fall from Monday through Friday and 4 fall on a weekend.

The first stored date is New Year's Day on January 1, 2027, and the last is Synaxis of the Mother of God on December 26, 2027. October has the highest monthly concentration with 8 entries.

The dataset also contains 24 regional entries across 16 stored scopes, including City of Amyntaio (Western Macedonia), City of Deskati (Western Macedonia), City of Eleftheroupoli (Eastern Macedonia and Thrace) and City of Florina (Western Macedonia) and 12 further areas.

Working days and possible bridge days in Greece

2 nationwide dates fall on a Tuesday or Thursday, including Greek Independence Day and Annunciation of the Virgin Mary and Ohi Day. They are useful starting points for bridge-day planning.

A precise working-day calculation needs the actual workplace region. A regional public holiday is not deducted throughout the country, and collective agreements, industry rules or substitute days can change the result.

Check school breaks, ISO weeks and daylight separately

No published school-holiday dataset is stored for Greece in this year. This does not mean that schools have no breaks; the responsible education authority and school remain decisive.

The linked solar calendar uses the named reference location and its time zone. Sunrise and sunset can differ elsewhere in Greece.

What to consider when planning through 2050

Recurring and mathematically movable holidays can be projected across many years. Election dates, one-off state events, later substitute days and new legislation become reliable only after they are adopted and published.

For important plans, keep the country, region and year together and recheck distant dates later. This calendar supports planning and does not replace binding information from an authority, school or employer.
