Questions
How many public holidays does Greece have in 2026?
Greece has 15 nationwide public holidays in 2026; the next one is Christmas Day on 25 December 2026.
How many working days are there in Greece in 2026?
251 working days, counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend and excluding the 15 national public holidays.
Do public holidays count as demurrage free days in Greece?
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.
