URL: https://gocutline.com/holidays/greece-2027/

Greece has 13 national public holidays in 2027, and 9 of them fall on working days, which leaves 252 working days in the year. The first is New Year's Day on January 1, and the last is Glorifying Mother of God on December 26.

## How holidays work in Greece
Greece follows Orthodox Easter, which is usually on a different date from Easter in Western Europe. That moves Good Friday, Easter Monday and Whit Monday with it.
