Questions

How many public holidays does Cyprus have in 2026?

Cyprus has 16 nationwide public holidays in 2026; the next one is Christmas Eve on 24 December 2026.

How many working days are there in Cyprus in 2026?

248 working days, counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend and excluding the 16 national public holidays.

Do public holidays count as demurrage free days in Cyprus?

Usually yes — most carriers count free time in calendar days, including weekends and holidays. If your tariff or contract says working days, holidays and weekends are excluded and the last free day moves later. The Shyppy demurrage calculator can count either way.
