Turkey Public Holidays
Turkey's public holidays consist of fixed national days established after the founding of the republic and two Islamic religious feasts. The religious feasts follow the Islamic lunar calendar, so their dates move earlier each year against the Gregorian calendar.

How public holidays work in Turkey
Public holidays are the days most workplaces and schools in Turkey 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.
