Long weekends in Greece, 2026
7 runs of three days or more, including the ones you only get by taking a single bridge day off. Computed on a Monday–Friday week. The corpus holds Sunday as this jurisdiction’s statutory weekly rest — corroborated — but a labour code names the day it guarantees, not the days custom adds, so it is cited above rather than computed from.

How we know this

Not held for Greece: Half-days and partial closures, Bank-only closures, Observed but open. A gap is ours, not a statement about the place — it means nobody here has read an instrument for it yet.

11 of 27 observances were read from the instrument itself; the others rest on an official document, on several independent sources, or on a published calendar reference. Across 8 named sources, and every row says which tier it holds.
Contents are emitted when the dossier is compiled, so this list and the PDF cannot disagree.

We do not promise a calendar that never changes. Dates move: authorities declare holidays at short notice and publish corrections of their own. Every record here shows what stands behind it, and when a date changes we correct it, publish it, and tell the people it affects.
