Official public holiday law or calendar
Confirmed · Scope: public · Checked 2026-09-27
This national calendar uses Greece’s nine compulsory public holidays under current labour law. Green Monday, Good Friday and Pentecost Monday can matter in public-sector, banking or customary schedules but are not presented as universal private-sector holidays.
Government offices, public institutions and many private organizations may follow the official holiday schedule.
The Bank of Greece publishes its own annual holiday calendar. Branch and settlement planning should use that notice, especially for Orthodox movable feasts and any transferred May Day observance.
Schools, colleges and universities may remain closed if the holiday is officially observed.
Boxing Day has historical, cultural or religious significance depending on the country and local observance traditions.
The second fixed Christmas holiday extends the statutory year-end period beyond 25 December. Its legal treatment is distinct from a discretionary extra closure.
Religious and family observance continues after Christmas Day, with practices varying by household and locality rather than following one national programme.
Use operator-specific 26 December timetables for travel planning; the employment statute does not prescribe service frequency.
