Greece Public Holidays
Greek public holidays are strongly shaped by the Orthodox Christian calendar, with the movable feasts fixed by the Orthodox computation of Easter rather than the Western one, so they usually fall on different dates. A set of fixed national and religious days is established by law.

How public holidays work in Greece
Public holidays are the days most workplaces and schools in Greece treat as days off, so they shape when people travel, book time away and plan around childcare. Religious holidays and wider observances sit alongside them. They are not always days off, but they are dates many households still mark. Each year page lists the public and religious holidays in full, and OneHaus keeps the complete set current in your shared home calendar.
