Greece Public Holidays 2027
Greece has 14 national public holidays in 2027, starting with New Year's Day on 1 January 2027 and ending with Second Day of Christmas on 26 December 2027. Christmas Day lands on a Saturday in 2027, on 25 December 2027, and no substitute weekday is granted for it here, so it costs the calendar a day off compared with a year when it falls midweek.

Six of them fall on a Saturday or Sunday in 2027, which is worth checking if you are counting on days off from work. Use the table below to see each 2027 holiday in Greece, when it happens and which day of the week it lands on.

When is New Year celebrated in Greece in 2027?
In 2027, New Year's Day in Greece is on 1 January 2027.
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 2027 to the next year?
Some of them do. Six of the 14 holidays in 2027 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 15 March 2027, Good Friday on 30 April 2027 and Easter Sunday on 2 May 2027, 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 2027. 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.

Knowing the dates is half the question. The other half is what they add up to: which of them create a long weekend and how many working days the year leaves. The 2027 worldwide overview compares every country on holiday count and weekend overlap, and the country index ranks all 44 of them. The same figures are available as JSON, and the dates as a calendar file.
