When is New Year celebrated in Greece in 2025?
In 2025, New Year's Day in Greece is on January 1, 2025.
Are regional holidays included for Greece?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Greece are listed separately on the Greece holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Greece holiday dates change from 2025 to the next year?
Some of them do. 6 of the 14 holidays in 2025 sit on a moving rule (linked to orthodox easter), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Clean Monday on March 3, 2025, Good Friday on April 18, 2025 and Easter Sunday on April 20, 2025, plus 3 more.
How far ahead is the Greece calendar actually fixed?
Through 2027. The holidays are set in law rather than announced year by year, so the dates repeat predictably. What can still change is a law amendment, a one-off holiday declared for a national event, and the exact day of any holiday on the Islamic calendar, which is confirmed by moon sighting. This table also applies 2 corrections to the underlying open dataset, each checked against the legislation. The full list with sources is on the Greece holiday hub.
Which Greece holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2025. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Greece holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
