National baseline and regional checks
This page focuses on the nationwide holiday calendar. Regional observances should be reviewed separately when they affect staffing or payroll timing.
Use this page as the national starting point for Greece. If your teams operate in Attica, Thessaly, Central Macedonia, Peloponnese, review regional or state-level holiday rules before finalizing leave approvals, payroll cut-offs or staffing plans.
How it works
The holiday page combines the year-specific calendar with working-day counts and bridge-day opportunities. That matters because a holiday table on its own rarely tells the whole operational story.
Example use case
An HR manager can check whether a holiday lands on a weekday, identify a four-day bridge weekend, and then move into the working-day and salary routes to model payroll deadlines or leave approval risk.
Long weekend opportunities
These bridge-day ideas help make the holiday page useful for operational planning, not just for date lookup.
- 2025-01-06: direct long weekend opportunity
- 2025-03-25: take Monday off for a four-day break
- 2025-04-18: direct long weekend opportunity
- 2025-04-21: direct long weekend opportunity
